Phobos is not required completely. D runtime can be a couple of
lines not counting object.d. If you want all asserts, string
switch and bounds checking (which I nice to have) and nice error
reporting, it can grow to 100 lines or so.
Note: since, I'm already here, does anyone know how D
manipulates/uses standard streams to make its write/read
functions as well? I can't find any resources telling me a
non-abstracted way of this being completed.
Phobos works on top of C stdio.
