[phobos] next release

[Brad Roberts]

What's the state of the union?  Er.. code base?

IMHO, it's about time to consider cutting the next release.  Who has 
opinions on what's unfinished that they believe needs to be in it?

Here's the current changelog for the trunk (probably needs to be validated 
with some of the fixes having to be reverted):

    $(WHATSNEW
        $(LI std.algorithm:  reduce now works with non-range-based iteration, such as opApply.)
        $(LI std.numeric:  Added FFT.)
        $(LI std.process: Added environment, an AA-like interface for environment variables.)
        $(LI std.range:  Iota, Stride, Transversal, FrontTransveral now support slicing where possible.)
        $(LI std.range:  Added Lockstep, hasLvalueElements.)
        $(LI std.range:  Added virtual function-based wrappers (InputRangeObject, OutputRangeObject) for when a binary interface to a range is required.)
        $(LI std.typecons:  Added convenience functions for Rebindable.)
        $(L1 std.traits:  Added isAssignable, isIterable, ForeachType, isSafe, isUnsafe, EnumMembers.)
        $(L1 std.traits:  hasLocalAliasing, hasLocalObjects and hasLocalRawAliasing are now hasUnsharedAliasing, hasUnsharedObjects and hasUnsharedRawAliasing.  Aliases to the old names are included for now for backwards compatibility.)
