Quick - which gets executed first - /usr/bin/* or /usr/local/bin/* ? Either way, someone or something is going to be surprised. It would probably be a better idea to either remove or rename the less used ones. 'shell' is uncomfortably generic. Don't know if anyone does, but I have never used

improvement request - enabling by-value-containers

For Every lib its a design descision if containers should be value- or reference-types. In C++ STL they are value-types (i.e. the copy-constructor does a real copy), while in tango and phobos the descision was to go for reference-types afaik, but I would like to be able to write value-types too
