Yea, but isn't this less of a problem in practice (even in the interim 
before a stable D2) than it's often made out to be? Of coruse, I can see 
how, on paper, it could be a horrible situation. But IMO the current reality 
is that, and no offence to Walter, but Phobos1 just kind of sucks. And 
because of that, the vast majority of D1 libs I've seen (at least the 
still-active ones) are either Tango or dual-version (using conditional 
compilation).
