- Tango's low-level stuff is of higher quality than that of Phobos, 
everyone agrees.
- Most of the time, people are thinking mainly about string manipulation 
stuff and console IO. Tango's IO routines are much faster than those 
used in Phobos.

You want a Phobos-style wrapper around Tango. That's the best you could get.
