These two are high on my list as well.

Also high on my list is a hash table in the standard library that 
better manages memory for large numbers of entries. There are 
multi-second GC pauses when large numbers of entries are added to 
the current AAs. There was an attempt at addressing this a couple 
years ago, but the first try didn't pan out: 
https://github.com/dlang/druntime/pull/1929.

Might not require a new library version to address this.
