std.regex is fat

Like, insanely fat.
All I wanted was a simple regex. The second include a regex
function, my program would no longer compile "out of memory for
fork".
/usr/bin/time -v reports it went from 150MB of RAM for D,
DAllegro, and Allegro5.
To over 650MB of RAM, and from 1.5 seconds to >5.5 seconds to
compile. Now I have to close all my Chrome tabs just to compile.
Just for one line of regex. And I get it, it's the overhead of
the library import, not the single line. But good gosh, more than
3X the RAM of the entire project for a single library import?
Something doesn't add up!
