I decided on doing the 'replacing runtime hooks with template'
idea. After re-read everything you posted and took some time to 
think
about it I concluded that this is the most sane idea for the time
frame of a GSoC. I feel that this will be able to give the most
improvement to the whole language, without the possibility of 
creating
a library that may not be used or by trying to design a new
druntime. You can also classify this idea as a continuation of
previous work, that for example you have done, with replacing 
hooks
with templates.

And as you said wrapping/reimplementing the mem{cpy,set,move}
functions will make more sense to do later on when more of these
runtime hooks have been replaced with templates.

I'm currently in the process of writing the first draft of this
proposal and will post it here and on the GSoC application page, 
as
soon as I get it into a more finished state, which should 
hopefully be
later today.
