I have DMD64 D Compiler v2.067.1 installed, and in the
documentation of phobos what it says about std.stream is "don't
use it on new code". It doesn't, however, appear to offer any
replacement. Certainly std.file, std.stdio, and std.path aren't
replacements.
So what *is* the appropriate replacement? More specificly,
what should one use for binary i/o, particularly random access
binary i/o? With fixed block size.
There's none :(
You can use std.stdio.File but it's not as flexible.
This note in the documentation was there 3 years ago, and there's
no replacement on the horizon, except some work in progress by
