Yeah, Don and I are in pretty close contact <g>.

I'm doing my best to make sure it happens. With the I/O stuff, you're dealing 
with two almost completely independent code bases (as I understand it, the key 
difference is that Tango jettisons C style I/O in exchange for performance and 
various other benefits), but most of the other stuff is ultimately the same code 
(there's a fair bit of Tango code which began life in Phobos).
After all, Phobos isn't really very big -- there's some stuff in there like 
std.openrj which is entirely peripheral.
