Vote++. This would be a nice little convenience when writing small scripts in D, which I actually do quite often because I already know where basic APIs like file I/O are in Phobos and I don't want to learn another API just for small scripts. This goes along with the scaling down thing I was talking about a few days ago. A well-designed language and library should be good for both big projects (making complicated things possible) and small projects (making things simple). std.all would be a trivial addition that wouldn't clash with anything else and would really help Phobos scale down better.
