a language includes its std and there's no alternative for std: 
string, algorithm, range to be nogc'ed with a nice easy-to-grab 
data structure. A betterc project is just going to be segmented 
from the rest of d and be a very different project.

If d were to start adding data structures to the std and 1 or 2 
of them happened to work ok with betterc; maybe my answer would 
change. But I really really do mean that d has one data structure 
of note, the built-in dynamic array, and adding more is obviously 
not a priority(despite that being insane).
