I would point out that the way that ddmd is being done is to 
automatically translate dmd from C++ to D, so everything has to 
be done on the C++ end until we've actually switched it over to D 
permanently. That means that we can't take advantage of any of 
D's features (be they in the language or the standard library) 
until we've actually fully switched the compiler to D. So, Phobos 
integration _can't_ come first.
