LOL. std.datetime would fail miserably on that one. I don't think that I have 
two lines empty lines within any functions, but pretty much all of the 
functions, structs, and classes have two empty lines between them rather than 
one. Single empty lines are used within functions and between a function and its 
corresponding unittest block, but aside from that most everywhere in 
std.datetime has two empty lines. Particularly with documentation at the 
beginning of every function, it seemed easier to read that way. It's pretty rare 
that I'd put two empty lines in a function though. That would just be wasted 
space. I tend to use it to separate distinct entities rather than spacing within 
an entity.
