I wholeheartedly agree that we should define methods in phobos taking 
output buffers/ranges.
One of the reasons Tango xml parser was the fastest in the world was 
because almost every method/function in Tango was takinig output buffer 
as argument and never allocated unless asked specifically.

This would allow everyone chosing a method of memory management most 
suited for their domain.
