I concur with what others have said. Neither of these proposals 
carry their own weight. They're just shuffling around 
functionality that we already have so that someone can write 
their code in a slightly different order. If someone really wants 
to alter their code like this, they can just write these 
functions themselves, but they're not of enough value to the 
community at large to be worth adding to Phobos.
