Official stdx

[Chris]

The thing is, code is never perfect and as a language keeps 
evolving your latest tricks will soon become obsolete or 
deprecated. It happens all the time (Java, Cocoa etc. "use this 
instead"). If I look back at the code I wrote years ago, it still 
works, but it's no longer up to current standards (my own as well 
as the language's). I think including things in the std. library 
really makes people (like me) use and thereby _test_ them, asking 
(not so) stupid questions on D.learn etc. If I have learned 
anything it's that my most ignorant (innocent) questions trigger 
responses from people who are more experienced, pointing out this 
or that flaw, telling you tricks and workarounds. D is a language 
based on practical experience, not on ideology or anything 
(that's why I like it). So stdx, while it seems to be a good 
idea, would be a limbo for code, eternally in a state of "not 
bad, but not quite there yet". And all code is like that. We'll 
never quite get there.
