If someone makes stupid demands like this one to justify his 
dislike for the language, such person is either deliberate troll 
or has strong enough prejudice no never like language anyway, 
arguments or not.

Language features don't magically appear from nowhere - those 
come at cost of extra code in compiler and/or runtime library 
making it very hard to use language with smaller runtime (D is 
actually guilty of that).

It is a common practice to treat standard language library as 
part of language. Both C and C++ include detailed spec on 
standard library in official language spec for example. As such 
making any distinction between two is impractical.
