oh, I forgot terminal.d in here.
It is fun to combine the event loops of some of these, since I
refuse to put a common interface in since that means another
module. It tends to be implemented with template functions that
talk to each other.
Similarly, the @scriptable annotation's canonical definition is
in jsvar.d - it indicates compatibility with that (though it is
mostly used through script.d, jsvar is the foundational data type
for the script language, so a lot of the script's runtime logic
is actually in there), but it is privately redefined as a string
in a few different modules, so they work together without needing
to import each other.
color.d and database.d are the two where I actually put in a new
module to get a common interface. color.d because images and
windows needed it, and database.d of course for those drivers.
I sometimes regret it... simpledisplay.d was so cool when it
worked by itself, and now I have better techniques to decouple,
but eh, it has used color.d since like 2011 now so oh well.
I also sometimes want to put in a foundational exception module.
But again, it breaks my one import rule soooo yeah.
