The API has some incoherencies, in naming convention for exemple. 
freeIsChecked for exemple, sounds incoherent to me with isAutomatic and 
isScoped.

In addition, fixing bug is nice, but including something in the 
standards lib with known bugs is quite scary. Just immaging the poor 
beginner in D wondering why his code isn't working as expected - note 
that it happend to me when I begun D and had a bogus compiler, I almost 
gave up the laguage on that event.

Inclusion in the standard lib should be made with no known bug IMO.
