Maybe I was a bit too harsh saying that std.benchmark maybe wasn't worth

library, I assume we don't want that.
Why not? Granted, we want quality code, and we only have so many people
working on Phobos and only so many people to help vet code, but assuming that
it can be written at the appropriate level of quality and that the
functionality is generally useful, I don't see why we wouldn't want a large
standard library like Java and C# have. Given our level of manpower, I don't
expect that we'll ever have a standard library that large, but I don't see why
having a large standard library would be a bad thing as long as it's of high
quality and its functionality is generally useful.

I just got that impression. That we want a relative small standard
library and have other libraries available as well.
