To repeat myself: we rewrote some functionality which already
existed in
D, but were improvable. For example the existing emplace
method is quite
long, hard to understand / read and is not marked with @nogc.
Since we
want to avoid the GC wherever possible we had to rewrite it. I
hope it's
useful for someone else and that some of you guys take some
ideas from it.

Opened File.d at random:
@trusted
@nogc
char[] read(const string filename) nothrow {
import std.c.stdio : FILE, SEEK_END, SEEK_SET, fopen,
fclose, fseek, ftell, fread;
FILE* f = fopen(filename.ptr, READ_BINARY);
scope(exit) fclose(f);
fseek(f, 0, SEEK_END);
immutable size_t fsize = ftell(f);
fseek(f, 0, SEEK_SET);
char[] str = m3.m3.make!(char[])(fsize);
fread(str.ptr, fsize, 1, f);
return str;
}
Then stopped right there. This is nowhere near production
quality - there is no error checking whatsoever, does more
operations than necessary, won't work on special files etc.
etc. etc.
I applaud the intention but there is a lot more work to be done
on this before it's in reviewable form.

I would be glad if you or Walter could review the other parts as
well. I'm very sure that your review will be very helpful and I'm
convinced that the modules Array or Smart Pointer could be useful
for phobos.
