Two of the most important modules in a standard library are 
containers & networking. In Phobos they are terrible. How about 
focusing on that than this nonsense? The Curl wrapper is about 
the only useful bit of networking code in the entire standard 
library. How on earth are you gonna compete with Go & Rust with 
useless container & networking modules?
