Well, many of those could be implemented in Orbit, especially the trivial  
ones.

The way it was worded, I thought you needed those to be in phobos or have  
an implementation provided before you could start the port.  It did sound  
a little strange ;)

Some of them are not trivial, and I understand those (e.g. std.process and  
std.xml), but things like !empty I think would not need a special  
implementation in phobos for you to be able to port.
