I'm curious to know what a complete implementation entails.

I've been wanting to decouple from druntime since I started
learning D in late 2013, though probably for different reasons
than yours. There have been two recent posts [1] [2] wanting to
do the same thing, and now your post envisioning a more modular
druntime-less phobos.

It's encouraging to see this trend. I am interested in seeing D
become more modular and pay-as-you-go, though I'd prefer to see
changes in the compiler and druntime (e.g. [3] [4] [5]) before
phobos.
