Well, with Phobos 2, it may be that the cost of porting Tango no longer
outweighs the benefits of the extra functionality. My point was that it
doesn't have to be one large library that replaces Phobos, it could just be
a set of libraries ported as needed that provide the APIs that were most
useful in Tango.
