[phobos] phobos commit, revision 1737

[Andrei Alexandrescu]

Hi Shin,


This is solid work! There's an opportunity here - it overlaps a LOT with 
std.variant.Algebraic.

Essentially it would be best if you integrated opDispatch, 
_onActiveDuck, and friends inside Algebraic. Then Algebraic would become 
meta-duck - it still supports any combination of types, but you can call 
any method they share against the Algebraic.

What do you think?

P.S. I *love* the trick with the homonym inner namespace! It solves the 
naming problem so elegantly. I'll use it in RefCounted too.
