I have PR
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/2995 open
since October 2014.
it includes:
* extensible haskell like quickcheck
* benchmarking with "names" and record keeping to see progress
* offline tool to plot benchmark results with gnuplot
* most std.string functions already have benchmarks
* makefiles got a new BUILD=benchmark
IMO continuous benchmarking of phobos is a must-have feature and
a nice marketing tool ( benchmark graphs on dlang.org). Something
similar to quickcheck is equally important, to get the test input
you didn't expect.
I got one and a half comments so far.
