when Sean pointed this out, those issues of mine vanished, Poof!

Since DMD is Win+Lin _only_ (IIUC), none of the embedded woes apply. 
It's happened to me before, too, that I forget that DMD is not the same 
as the D spec. And that Phobos is not part of the spec.

So, actually, any discussions about embedded systems belong to D.gnu 
instead.

Still, I do agree with Kris on separation of concern, clear and 
consistent compartmentalization of dependencies, low level dependencies 
on high level code, modularization, etc., in Phobos.

Not addressing those issues, at least makes it harder to maintain and 
develop Phobos in the long run. IMHO.
