Short answer: You can't. :)

Long answer:
Like I said, Phobos is a work in progress, and now that the language 
specification itself has been frozen, you can expect big changes to the 
library in the near future.

The best guide to which parts of Phobos are newest (and therefore less 
likely to change in the future) is the changelog.  The major changes 
started with DMD 2.029:
