so let's stop adding features at all. and extending Phobos too. we are
so scared by adding even simple things.

bwah, i can write that patch in a hour, and it will require very little
maintenance: it will break when lambdas break, and that is not often
(and such changes breaks alot of other things anyway).

p.s. sure i'll not write it, 'cause i'm not ready to fork D and my site
with "D powerpatches" aren't up yet. ;-)
