If anyone would like to test things and come back with results and

paste the code into a module of yours and then include that module in

For some reason, std.bigint has some issues so I commented it out. It's 
also possible that you don't have std.container installed, so I 
commented that out too.


Thanks,

 We're discussing adding the all-inclusive module std.all to Phobos. That 
 should simplify scripting. My experiments indicate that the cost of 
 parsing all of std.all is small in an empty program, but I haven't tested 
 things with actual programs.

I think that's a great idea. I had a similar feeling about Tango a while 
back and added the following module to my SemiTwist D Tools library 
(although this doesn't try to include all of Tango, just things that would 
be most useful for scripting):

I had to comment out the following imports in order to test with 2.046:

public import std.red_black_tree;
public import std.loader;
public import std.gregorian;

As long as no unneeded code is imported as a result, that's cool.  I 
like it a lot.  I just know from a project I worked on that M$ has an 
import that looks innocuous, however it imported a large chunk of it's 
standard library in one shot.  Needless to say, it made analyzing the 
software much more difficult and I believe it made the resulting files 
bigger as a result.

I can't recall any more than that as it's been a few years.
