This must be a really silly question, or it would have been asked
already, so I apologise in advance.
It appears you have written a low level http, ftp, smtp library included
in this library... why is there not a standard library for each of these
protocols, and why aren't you building on top of that?
The new etc.curl (std.curl) module is actually build on top of the
libcurl bindings located in etc.c.curl. So all low level stuff is
handled by the standard libcurl library.

Well, for better or worse, we don't have an official policy on

this case, since it comes from something else, it looks like it

pretty much
_had_ to be as close to the keyword as possible since it

tack the _ on,
del seems like a reasonable solution.
In any case, if we want something official, we'd have to discuss
it, and we
generally have a hard time coming to any kind of consensus on
stuff like that.
So, I don't generally try unless it seems particularly important.

I think we should write down, somewhere, what we have, what we have
agreed on unofficially. It may not be complete and not contain
details for everything but it would at least be something. Instead
of having to explain this every time we get a new contributor to
Phobos or one has to try to find this information in the newsgroup.
