If it's in both, then I believe that the general rule is that it should be in 
druntime instead, since a number of modules were originall in Phobos but were 
moved to druntime - mostly C bindings and the like. But I don't know about 
this particular case. I'd be inclined to say that we should just go with the 
core one, since it's there, but Sean might have different ideas on that. I 
don't know. But it certainly does look like unnecessary duplication at the 
moment.
