[phobos] [Fwd: Re: What functions could be added to std.algorithm?]

[Lars Tandle Kyllingstad]

If I hadn't been on vacation for the last week, I would've voted 'yes'

Welcome, Philippe!  I was vacationing in your home country, btw.  Of all
the countries I've been to, France is probably my favourite -- I just
keep coming back. ;)
