I know it isn't hard. But D's charter is not to go and patch the C runtime library, nor is that remotely practical across all the thousands of C implementations out there.
Why not? Why shouldn't we try to be better than C? Perhaps we shouldn't rely on the C runtime library in this case, if possible.

But we're using D here, not C. You have to stop assume that everyone using D knows C or C++. Just because you do doesn't mean everyone else does.
