Language exists by itself, library feature is composed from
language features and, as it happens often, they can interact in
unexpected/unforseen/broken way.
Take typedef and Typedef for example (bearophile often posts
shortcommings of the latter). Irrespective of whether each of
them is good/bad, this is a clear example of differences between
language feature and library feature.
Personally I am upset when I get some weird Phobos structure
which simulates language feature, rathen then having feature in
the language in first place.
