I don't have this pathological hatred towards phobos that some 
other Devs have and my code does rely on it heavily. That being 
said, phobos is really lacking in features. Also, it is a mess of 
incompatible paradigms. To me, a good example is C#'s `System`, 
that gets you 99% of what you want from the get go. Phobos, 
unfortunately, provides about 10% at best.

I don't really care for speed in a standard library, for me it 
should allow me to get stuff done quickly. I can swap out for an 
optimized solution later if needed.
