Doing that these days would be silly. You can depend on a

I always have problems when trying to do that. git submodules
bring pretty consistent pain in my experience.
But it probably isn't so bad if the submodule rarely changes.
Just for 100% control anyway nothing beats copy/paste. Then
there's zero difference between you writing it yourself.
I kinda wish the D upstream were more willing to do that. My
view is it shouldn't be on independent developers to add stuff
to Phobos, for example, instead the Phobos team should just be
copying and testing modules they are interested in on their own.
git subtree
it's like submodules but also like copy-paste.
