The D2 documentation should stop advertising custom allocators via new()
and delete() and the scope storage class.
This means http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/memory.html and
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/comparison.html (possibly more) should
be rewritten or adjusted.
BTW the comparison also lists strong typedefs which are also to be
deprecated AFAIK.

Furthermore: Why is emplace() in std.conv? I really wouldn't expect it
there.. more likely I'd look in std.typecons, because scoped!T() is
already there and does something related (allocate an object without new).

And while I'm complaining:
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/phobos/phobos.html doesn't list core.stdc.*
