All of these are not missing. For some of the things I just like doing 
it differently then how Phobos does it.

So now suddenly D1 is banned? Seems like you are trying to destroy all 
traces of D1. I think it would be better for all if you instead 
encourage people to use D of any version and not use D2.

Why would std.benchmark be an exception? Shouldn't all new modules and 
big refactoring of existing ones go through the review process? If none 
one thinks it's worth putting std.benchmark through the review process 
then it seems to me that people isn't thinking it worth adding to Phobos.
