Unneeded, because D2 has real closures. (That modules still make a lot
of sense in D1, but now it's only a collection of awkward template hacks.)

Sounds like fun. I hope you'll provide Walter with suggestions how to
improve CTFE while fighting with it.
Me? I thought I'm saying what could be done, not what *I* should be
doing :o).
* std.mmfile: integrate with the garbage collector. It should be there.
Why should the GC know about it?
Because the only way to make memory-mapped files safe is to have the GC
handle them.
* std.outbuffer: I think this shouldn't be a class and shouldn't have
that name.
I found this class to be absolutely useless. And there isn't even
std.inbuffer! One of the crappier parts of Phobos.
It's used in regular expressions.
* std.signals: I don't know much. A review wouldn't hurt.
Crap. Who uses that?
* std.cstream, std.stream: eliminate.
Of course not without replacement?
* std.variant: add dynamic method invocation capabilities
Sounds hot.
* std.xml: replace with something that moves faster than molasses.
* std.zip: rewrite

How about giving these up to Tango? The only problem is, it has not been
ported to D2 yet.
That's not an option.
