You are not the only one!
Did you follow Ilya's proposal about a betterC modular standard 
library?

http://forum.dlang.org/post/phexetutyelrssyrucvw@forum.dlang.org

Unfortunately it died because of the fear of "balkanizing the

(though I am not sure how it could be more "balkanized" as atm 
everyone seems to grow their own home-made libraries)
