* std.xml: replace with something that moves faster than molasses.
I started to write an XML parser using D1 and a pseudo-range
implementation a little while ago, but never finished it. (I was
undecided about the API, and that somewhat killed my interest.)
Perhaps I should finish it and contribute to Phobos.
The irking thing about the API was that if I expose a range for parsing
and returning tokens, I then need a switch statement to do the right
thing about each kind of these tokens (like instantiating the proper
node type) whereas with a callback API you don't need to bother saving
and then switching on a flag value telling you which kind of node
you've read (and callbacks can be aliases in templates). They are two
different compromises between speed and flexibility and I guess both
should be supported.
