ridiculously, the only reason i can come up with, that kept me from 
using tango in programs that don't use networking, is the verbose string 
formatting syntax (i don't want to start a discussion about which one is 
better. i consider it a matter of taste).
when tango and phobos will co-exist painlessly, i'll probably be using 
std.stdio, std.format and everything else from tango :)
