I know that we are quite few on this side, but IMHO a well shaped 
standard library has advantages over a sparse ecosystem of 
independent library ...

Anyway, if we can, we try to stick with Phobos, as long as we 
don't have a particular problem to solve that needs an external 
library: recent example, Martin std.io or SumType instead of 
std.variant ...
