Well I mean, yeah, you can obviously implement your own data 
structures, and eventually, your own version of Phobos, even.

The trouble is, then you're fighting the framework, and nothing 
integrates with anything else. Some data structure expects a 
toHash() instance method, another expects .hashOf, another 
getHash(), another getHashCode(), another might say hashCode(), 
and yet another might just expect a template specialization, like 
in C++.

So the point is, yes, it's possible. It's not that I can't work 
around it, but it defeats the whole purpose of switching to D.
