I've taken a look at the offending PR 
(https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/3370).  
Unfortunately, it was only up for review for about a day before 
it was merged, and only one person commented on it before it was 
merged.

Given that some PRs are currently rotting for months, I hate to 
say that PRs should remain open for a minimum amount of time, but 
that's what I'm saying.  We're all very busy, so give PRs a few 
days for reviewers to get to them.  IMO, that PR should have 
never passed scrutiny, and probably wouldn't have if it was given 
a little more time.
