Wow.  I have no idea how these dependencies on Phobos slipped past me. 
Probably because I'm so used to thinking of std.range, std.algorithm, 
etc. as fundamental parts of the language.  They absolutely, 110% must 
be gotten rid of if this is to go into druntime.  This may necessitate 
breaking this proposal up into two:  TempAlloc itself in druntime and 
the higher level convenience functions (tempdup, stackCat, etc.) in 
std.array.
