Drilling down in Phobos to make it work with -dip1000, at the bottom are usually 
calls to core.stdc.*. Without annotating those functions, all progress on 
-dip1000 comes to a halt.

-dip1000 is designed so that non-dip1000 code can call dip1000 code. Adding 
these annotations should be benign to existing code. Nothing failed after adding 
these annotations, either in Phobos which is not (yet) dip1000, nor any of the 
projects tested, nor any of the test suite.

Since druntime is now compiled with -dip1000, and future druntime contributions 
are not existing code, that is a reasonable expectation.

On the same premise, I am working to get Phobos compatible with -dip1000. 
Without that compatibility, -dip1000 is pretty much unusable.

It's analogous to druntime and phobos being officially compiled with -dip25, 
which has been the case for some time now.
