Yup.  And to be frank, I don't think any member of the Tango team has 
ever claimed that Tango is a "standard library."  However, this is 
really a semantic issue because the compatibility problem does exist, so 
for better or worse, it's not really possible to use Tango and Phobos 
together in the same app at the moment.  If you'll forgive my hubris, I 
/do/ believe the Tango runtime is better than the Phobos runtime, but 
this basically means that I think it would be foolish to just toss out 
the Tango runtime and turn Tango into another user-level library.  And 
that's why we are where we are today :-)
