Documentation. The Phobos docs are rather bad, and don't even include
the core modules. Also there's std.thread, shouldn't it be core.thread?
You can't release D2 "on the masses" like that.
It's only the language spec which is getting frozen, not the libraries.
TDPL intentionally doesn't say much at all about Phobos.
Well, you see, as TDPL is releases, there will be much attention on D,
and people will go and try it out. Keep in mind that those people will
know next to nothing about D. If the first what they'll experience is
crashing on the chaotic documentation, that's going to be a major
disappointment. It's like giving a birthday party without cake.
Expending a fraction of the energy spent in wringing hands on actually
helping with the documentation would mark a definite improvement.
