I also found that my D version of my std.me lib is a lot smaller 
than the C++ version, so Phobos seems to do a lot more than the 
C++ std lib does, and what I've used so far seems to be well 
done. I've only managed to scratch the surface though.

I think with C++ you have to use boost to get the same as what 
you get with Phobos, but I never liked working with boost.
