If I could decide I would not base any standard library for D on .NET. 
.NET is way to over complicated, and object oriented  for the sake of 
oop (Instantiating a Point class with X and Y members is just silly when 
you have structs), D is way better of taking lessons from the VCL 
framework that comes with Borland Delphi.

VCL is smaller, uses the "what is best for each task" approach, and D's 
modules and class-implementation have quite allot in common with how 
Object Pascal does it.
