I guess you need to just replace the leg with builtin ai (gc) for 
convenient walking, with manually tuned one, like 
https://code.dlang.org/packages/tanya

It is probably impossible to have a standard lib that satisfies 
necessities for entire community. Therefore it may be best if it 
is split in different packages each caring for a subset of 
community. The best case being if those modules could 
interoperate well between themselves.

I hope that the decision board will take the best option in 
current situation for future of dlang :).

Best, regards,
Alexandru.
