Why can't D have its own types?


Just importing this introduces dependencies on other system modules

```D
import core.stdc.config;
import core.stdc.stddef; // for wchar_t
import core.stdc.signal; // for sig_atomic_t
import core.stdc.wchar_; // for wint_t
```

Wich makes phobos harder to use on platforms without these

I think Phobos as a base shouldn't depend on libc, only specific parts eg: network/event modules for example, so it becomes easier to port when required

+1

My current setup in wasm has a broken libc and that makes most the std useless unleast I want to go wack a mole in the depths of core.math
