It's a good idea to help people that want to use D for contests, 
because contests require to write small programs from scratch and 
this is a very good situation to try new/uncommon languages as D.

Some of those algorithms seem too much large to implement for 
Phobos (Voronoi), other seem too much specialized, but some of 
them seem acceptable for Phobos.

Regarding simple but very useful things to add to Phobos, I have 
several Phobos enhancement requests in Bugzilla, that are often 
more basic than the algorithms in that page. If you want I can 
list some of them here.
