Windows isn't the only one affected. Under CRuntime_Glibc 
(usually for Linux), std* and all are defined just like in 
CRuntime_Microsoft, which still make them unusable in a 
-betterC(-only) context.

Or maybe I'm the only special guy who makes my projects betterC 
as a whole.

Bless you! That was the last thing I needed to set for `_iob` 
(which in the Microsoft headers is set to _IOB_ENTRIES (20) and 
not _NFILE (512) (for FILE[*])), because I did cloned the Phobos 
repo and did modifications of my own, for my projects.
