I would like to see : collection update events. The C# C5 library is 
(afaik) the only container library which implements this very useful 
feature. (example a database informs connected users about relevant 
changes to force update the GUI, no need to pull just in case every 5 
seconds)

Beside, Implementing update events could be a good reason to give 
std.pattern a new try...

I think it is a big win for the D2 community to have a container 
library. I.E. porting C++ will be more comfortable.
