There are a number of routines for which D currently calls the C 
standard library equivalent. For example, memcpy, memmove etc. 
and also malloc(), free() etc.
The idea is that these should be implemented in D to provide a 
more baremetal
environment for D, for limited resources (aka embedded systems). 
Note that the C standard library provides a lot of benefits for 
the general case, mainly that it has been used and tested for 
years.
