C++ interoperability is very important for D's future. -- Andrei
I know it is and I fully support it. I'm not arguing against it.
Please add all C++ interoperability support you want to the
compiler and to druntime. I look forward to making use of it.
But libstdc++ is not part of C++-the-language, and libc is not
part of C-the-language. C and C++ can be used without them; I do
every day.
If core.stdcpp is intended to be the language bindings to
libstdc++, I don't think it should belong it D's language
implementation, druntime, any more the language bindings to Cairo
or GTK should.
The same goes for core.stdc and core.sys.linux and friends, as
these are not part of D's language implementation.
