Having "blessed" 3rd party libraries may make D more popular and stable for building real software.

This is once again D flexing its muscles as the all-time king of 
NIH. Just follow what other languages do. Install a package and 
then add it to your program the same as you do with Phobos:

```
import std.math;
import user.raylib;
```

But I've wasted enough time pushing for this over the years. 
Other languages do it and D does it with Phobos, yet the main 
objection is that there's no way to do it.

If someone doesn't want to do it that way because they need the 
super-duper enterprise version of everything, they can use the 
current clunky approach.
