Well yeah. As I said at the start of this thread, what I did was:

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

So if the compiler tells me that A won't cast to B because of some
invariant issue or some-such, then I modified the source in the
offending file. If that happened to be tango.core (actually I renamed
it phango.core to avoid confusion) then so be it.

As I mentioned, I did not copy tango's std folder at all. I am doing
without it. I am not interested in messing around with D's standard
library (Phobos) in any way. In fact, I sometimes have had to call on
its services (e.g. std.contracts.assumeUnique()) to get things to
compile.

Because it might stop something upon which I already rely from working

True. But that's not really an issue for what I'm doing. If I can be
bothered, I might find a way to add cout.writefln() and
stdout.writefln() or whatever, to give me Phobos syntax with Tango's
streams. But right now I've still got Phobos's writef() and writefln()
functions at my disposal, so I'm perfectly happy.

Besides ... printf()? Now there's a function that really should be deprecated!
