What typeinfo/moduleinfo has to do with a networking module in 
the STD for example?

Dynamic array/associative array can be made to work with 
-betterC, i mentioned in my reply above, minimal allocator API in 
`core.memory` make associative array able to change its 
allocator, and build APIs in phobos around allocators and people 
who use betterC will be able to consume phobos without people 
working on phobos having to know/care about betterC

If you care about simplicity and efficiency, obviously
