Yeah, well that's kind of what I did. I took the source in the "tango"
dir (i.e. not the "std" dir, not "object.d"), and then did

    foreach(example)
        while(does not compile)
            fix_first_error()

I noticed. I liberally added const and invariant everywhere I could
get away with it. It takes some fine tuning to get it right. D strings
are invariant now, so I had to throw in some idups in places where I
couldn't prove to myself that the original was actually unique.

I also changed toUtf to toString, and changed all the module names to lowercase.

I'm working with 2.007. I assume it will be not too hard to upgrade.

Mine does. I specifically do not use Tango's object.d, nor anything in
Tango's std. I'm importing phobos and my bastardised version of Tango
simultaneously.

It's actually quite fun.
