Steven Schveighoffer - if you are reading, would you be interested in mentoring a std.stream replacement project?

I'm working on the replacement itself :)

So you are not interested in getting some poor student to do all the grunt work for you ... or are you planning on being done before 2015 :o)

The design is not finished. I don't want a student to do work that is going to get thrown away, or completely refactored.

I can certainly see something being possible once the design is finished and rudimentary implementation is there. I definitely could see an xml replacement that uses the new streams being a project.

But I didn't see the GSOC thing being a "grunt work" type of thing. Wouldn't such a student be interested in his/her own project rather than filling out someone else's? I think we should look at something like Dmitry's regex replacement as a model for the type of projects we would like.

In the case where someone wanted to do a project on i/o improvements or container improvements, I would certainly be willing to mentor.
