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?
