I agree with Andrei.
My more general concern is that if we pump up Phobos with lots of little
functions and aliases, we get a very large but not very useful library.
We also increase the "cognitive load" of anyone attempting to understand
standard D code.
When a standard library feature consists of 3 lines of trivial
implementation, and 8 lines of documentation, that's a red flag to me
that it shouldn't be in the library.
I'd really like to see library modules with small api's and large depth
to them, like an XML parser.
