After that I've been toying around with the idea of mini-phobos lately.
It's like keeping a "micro-kernel" skeleton inside of Phobos, user code 
doesn't have to see this. It's a bit more then just traits/non-traits 
separation though.

A couple of tiny functions (min/max/pointsTo/...) and a bunch of traits 
is all that many modules need actually if you limit their hunger for 
std.stdio/std.format to unittests where appropriate.
