I'm no stranger to writing data structures; if anything I do it 
too much.

To put it another way, lets say the devs will implement one block 
of code I suggest. If I suggest an algorithm in an ideal world 
that will produce 5 new useful instantiations of lazy std-only 
code. If they implement a new data structure that will make 100 
new instantiations.

Fundamentally why shouldn't the next 5 data structures that are 
arguably general that someone thinks up off the top of their head 
not be included?

(and the answer I got a while back was they are waiting on 
std.experimental.allocator to be released; for .... reasons)
