But is it even necessary?
It is nice to have stdlib functions available that can be used anywhere.
For std.algorithm, Andrei has said if you ever implement an algorithm by
hand, it means the library has failed. But there's two places where that
falls short (IMO at least): using it without allocating, and using it
without bringing in a bazillion dependencies.
Only Levenshtein distance produces garbage in std.algorithm.
