Hi,
Abstract:
D Drafting Library is an official library modeled by the D
community and designed to support the development process of
the D Standard Library. The drafting library is coupled with
the standard library and doesn't introduce any duplicated
functionality. It should be used during the drafting stage of
the new functionality development.

and to the recent discussion for initial proposal:

Please comment, share your view and doubts. Don't hesitate to
ask any question.
I tried to define the proposal to be almost non-intrusive for
not interested developers.
I can handle point 3 and 4 from "Proposal implementation steps"
section as a pull requests when proposal is accepted. Step 1
and 2 are trivial but can't be done by me as I'm not the person
in charge.

This looks very similar to std.experimental. I originally
thought that the difference between std.experimental and this
library was going to be how it was used.
std.experimental:
module that may become part of the standard libary later
your proposed library "mars"?:
modules that will probably not become a part of the standard
library. They are "addons" to the standard library. i.e. Maybe
you would like the SDL library, but it doesn't make sense to
include in the standard library because it it not useful to
everyone. For these kinds of libraries it would be nice to have
a set of community supported libraries that shouldn't be in the
standard library but are still useful to a subset of the
community.
However, it appears that this proposal is just another version of
std.experimental.
