[phobos] std.msgpack

[Andrei Alexandrescu]

Hi again,


I think a solid serialization mechanism is vital for communicating data 
across threads effectively.

MessagePack is a solid binary offering, but it doesn't offer the upper 
layers needed for a complete serialization solution. As it stands, it is 
a good transport mechanism. I confess, however, I wished we adopted a 
more widely used binary protocol such as Thrift.

Anyway, I don't see why MessagePack could not be one of the available 
transport mechanisms in a wider serialization library that has pluggable 
transports.

Thoughts?
