Ok, seriously, it sounds like an awesome feat, but I don't think it is necessary to put it into Phobos. First, a dub package, please.
Agree. Does Java even have something like that? That's sort of the exemplar for "hopelessly overdone standard library".
Off-topic: Is it possible/feasible/desirable to let dmd use dub packages?
DMD shouldn't have to download things from the public internet to do its job.
I guess it would make sense to extract parts of dmd into dub packages. As a next step, dmd could use those packages instead of duplicating code.
Does it? Which parts? I'm afraid I don't see the benefit. -Wyatt
