Last I used std.containers (which admittedly has been a few 
years), I developed a pretty deep distrust of DList. Personally, 
I would use multi_index, but you are probably better off sticking 
with dcollections. unless steve hasn't been maintaining it..

Also, I'm the author/porter of dxl. I think I quit maintaining it 
because I was waiting for the new io api, which I guess still 
hasn't happened. I don't really have time to work on it right 
now, but if you have questions, feel free to ask.
