I was wondering why there are 2 container package under tango.util.collection
,tango.util.container which some of the libarary are the same,say
HashSet,HashMap which just make a bit confuse?

Thanks.

Container is the newer one. Collection is not going to be removed so  
suddenly (deprecated). See here

It (tango.util.collection) is deprecated yes, but will not stay for long.

OK,so which one is equivelant to ArrayBag in the container module?I found
Vector is not the same as c++ std::vector<>does,while ArrayBag in the
collection module looks more like.If the collection module deprecates in the
future,which one in the container module will act as ArrayBag?

Thanks.

That particular container have been prioritized down since arrays in D are
fairly nice to use in any case - so an implementation may have to rely on a
contribution. or at least a wishlist ticket.
