The construction of the allocator library in 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIb3L4vKZ7U is really quite the 
lesson.

Also "Functional image processing in D":

With all the good thing that _can_ be said about DbI, I don't 
think it is a defining feature of D. After using 
ae.utils.graphics for years, I turned 180° and now think generic 
programming typically get a few problems:
- it's a bit remote from problem domains, meaning a bit less 
readable code, a bit harder to write, a bit longer to compile... 
in exchange for the expanded capabilities and genericity
- the problem of having less specific identifiers
- the problem of typically having poor information-hiding. 
Probably the idea was that the software artifact is so generic, 
it has to be made public. Leading to too much being public.
