How does the D standard library compare in size with some other 
languages (C++, Rust, Go, Java, Python)?

I've said this several times, and it bears repeating. We want to make D 
entirely pay-as-you go, and offer full support to anyone working on it. 
The best "something" anyone can do about it is do good engineering work 
in the D mainline. That will automatically benefit all users of the D 
language, instead of balkanizing the community. Granted, the lure of the 
clean slate is strong, and more care is needed to mind backwards 
compatibility, but that's where the real impact is.
