Which, by the way, is a shame. druntime may be compiler-specific, but 
Phobos is the D standard library and, as such, should definitely compile 
on all mainstream compilers. This ought to be part of the review 
process. The problem with doing it, though, is that currently even 
Phobos is merged manually into GDC, and LDC maintains a fork...
