That is entirely incorrectly.

Nobody expects things to work in -betterC in Phobos. The only exception 
to that rule are things like std.traits which only operate at CTFE and 
should have no differing behavior based upon what flags are passed.

We can't add things to Phobos because of leadership. In the last 10 
years we have only added allocators and loggers to experimental, and 
only one of them was complete enough to come out of experimental. It has 
nothing at all to do with some flag why we can't put things in. It has 
always been a nightmare.
