Sometimes I'd like some in place operations in Phobos.

To remove duplicate items from a mutable array of sortable items:

data.length -= data.sort().uniq().copy(data).length;


or to just remove the item "5" from an array of ints, it's not 
hard to miss the necessary self-assignment:

data = data.delete(5);
