Well, I guess I learned that now. But then: *is* there a place 
where one can find stable/mature/maintained and/or trustworthy D 
libs?

OK, in my case falling for a, let me call it questionable, lib 
was desastrous because *of course* it makes a language look not 
exactly great when right at the get-go one walks into a "trap".
But I guess I'm not the only one who, to a major degree came to D 
because I wanted a *mature* tool (and "universe"), and probably 
quite many would value a place where one hadn't to play lottery 
but could find reasonably reliable libs.

Btw, are there any more or less agreed upon standards re (lib) 
docu here in the D-lang community? I'm asking because that 
(largely non existing lib docu) was one of the major reasons I 
gave up on another language with plenty "funny" experiments but 
precious little one could actually work with wrt docu (and rely 
upon).

Be that as it may, I thank you.
