Well it can never encompass all the library code people write, it 
having a way lower threshold. In that regard I suppose Phobos 
does well when it tries to support libraries by developing good 
low/mid-level code. Stuff like std.algorithms, collections and 
ndslice. But do you really want to put a ODBC client in there, as 
an example? Or a grayscale filter?

Thanks. It is more an async/observable library than anything 
else. And it depends on vibe.d. When I get rid of the vibe.d 
dependency, or make it optional, I might consider prepping it up 
for inclusion.
