In fact I think there is necessary dialog between Tango team AND Walter 
to solve problem.

I was not suggesting that Tango should work on top of Phobos. I was 
rather suggesting that profiling libraries (Phobos - low level; Tango - 
higher level) will cause to be *much less* conflicting points between 
libraries and better synergy while keeping relative high independence 
between authors of libraries.

In such a case BOTH libraries could be threated as standard. And once 
again: I don't think that if there will be Phobos's writefln(), there 
can not be Cout() from Tango. IMHO there is no problem that there would 
be both, having completely different implementation. (Probably there 
will be need for some synchronization, between them, to allow 
interchangeable usage, but i am not sure.)

My proposal is rather to keep most used Phobos'es methods/classes in 
Phobos, remove from Phobos high level function/classes (eg. net?). From 
Tango should migrate to Phobos free functions (Math?, Variant?, core/ 
directory?).

I don't want to go much into details because it needs much better 
analysis than I can give. My post is more about choosing good strategy 
to merge libraries...

But maybe I just don't see, why it is not possible to choose such a 
strategy... Then please let me/us know why it won't work, if I can ask...

Also nobody from community has commented about such idea, so maybe it's 
just wrong way... Would be great to get some more opinions...
