With betterC, some Phobos functionality work. For instance, most 
of std.range and std.algorithm will work. Problem is that there 
is no list of those in the docs. If something does GC allocations 
(std.container) or throws exceptions, it will not work. Based on 
my experience, -betterC, as its name implies, still provides a 
good programming experience rather than C.
