Just adding; here's some technical details for a Ubuntu 18.04 
32bit laptop, with gdc-11.1.0, dmd 2.097.1, ldc 1.8.0 (have yet 
to explore the LLVM options), and vibe out of current dub as of 
early Aug 2020+1, when looking for standard library ultimate 
truths.  *JSON in particular, but these paths are going to be the 
go to paths for now*.


```
/usr/include/d/vibe/vibe/data/json.d
/usr/include/dmd/phobos/std/json.d
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/11/include/d/std/json.d
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/9/include/d/std/json.d
/usr/lib/ldc/i386-linux-gnu/include/d/std/json.d
```

I have not done any builds from source yet, only `apt` package 
installs from main repos and gcc leading edge, so `/usr/local...` 
is not a complicating factor on this laptop.  
`/usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/11/include/d/...` is where I have 
been finding truth for gdc-11 D.

Cheers, and another thanks.
