standard library vs standard interfaces

[Serg Kovrov]

There were always trends to throw away Phobos as standard library in 
flavor of some other like Ares, Tango, or whatever. The problem is there 
are lot of code (I'd say most of it) that hard-coupled with current 
standard library.

So why not define well-thought, 'official' set of 'standard interfaces' 
(and standard implementation), as opposite to 'standard library'. It is 
not necessary for a library to fully support all interfaces, of course. 
We could have than any number of third party libraries to work with, in 
a 'standardized' way.
