Certainly, this deserves celebration!

But OTOH, if *this* is what it takes to contribute a new module to
Phobos, then it's no wonder we have trouble finding contributors...
Most would give up before they even try. I think there's an imbalance
here between the quality of existing Phobos modules vs. the quality
expected of future Phobos modules. Whatever happened to incremental
refinement??  Do we really expect flawless perfection before merging to,
of all places, std.*experimental*?
