std.container is where containers/collection go. The main reason that we don't 
have more is that Andrei is working on the design for custom allocators which 
will have a definite impact on the containers. So, rather than create a bunch 
of container types which are going to have to be  redone later, we just don't 
have very many.

At least we have _something_ now (it was quite a while before we got 
std.container), and much of the basics of how containers are supposed to look 
like and work have been ironed out, but the allocator situation is proving to 
be a roadblock. However, not very long ago, Andrei said something about having 
a breakthrough in his work on the allocator design, so we may be seeing custom 
allocators - and thus more containers - fairly soon.
