Yes, this won't get into the release for a while. So please do this 
manually (just copy the file changed by the pull over the existing one).

It's something that doesn't need to be compiled into the phobos library, 
as it's a misrepresentation of the actual object when you compile with 
unittests, so there is no reason to recompile phobos.
