I think it'd be awesome to have something like 
boost::intrusive[1] in D.
For a GSOC project, the scope could be reduced to a few of the 
containers from the boost version (focus should be to lay 
groundwork for future additions.)

The advantage of intrusive containers which I believe would have 
the most mass appeal is that memory management is external to the 
container instead of baked in.

Further more, intrusive containers can be combined and extended 
in interesting ways (I've found this extremely useful,) which are 
impossible with non-intrusive containers. I've chosen to use C++ 
over D for some of my programs due to this library alone.
