Some worthwhile insights into what makes a good collection
type.

Of particular interest is the advocacy of collision attack
resistance. Is anyone interested in exploring this w.r.t. D's
builtin hashes?

Of interest are the comments by the implementer of the hash.
There's a benchmark of languages builtin hashmaps here:
http://vaskir.blogspot.fr/2016/05/hash-maps-rust-vs-f.html
It includes D and Rust. The author found that D wins for the
lookups but was a bit behind for the insertions (due to GC maybe
?).
Rust results didn't seem that bad, despite of the cryptographic
hash function it uses.
