Maybe quickly fixed in git, but usually not in the user's system 
since the average user waits for the next release to update 
Phobos.. which sometimes breaks their build.

My libs are just independent files they can download at any time 
with little risk.

To test a new version of simpledisplay.d for example:

mv simpledisplay.d simpledisplay.d.old
wget 
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adamdruppe/arsd/master/simpledisplay.d
make


And see what happens. No need to mess with git dmd or anything 
like you do to use a prerelease Phobos version.
