</div>I've been wondering for a while if something like this is general enough for<br>
non-statisticians and a good candidate for Phobos:<br>

Good? Overkill? Too niche?<br></blockquote><div><br>Oh nice. Though I'll probably never use dstats in its globality, I'll most certainly use this summary module.<br><br>Having a small std.stats module inserted into phobos doesn't strike me as overkill or too niche, but maybe I'm biased. <br>
I'm sure everyone here use less than a dozen modules on most projects. I mean, I never do sockets, xml, GUI, ... But I intensively use std.functional, algorithm, traits, range, typecons, typetuple, array, ... <br><br>
