Thank you. I am not very well acquainted with the standard

Question: Is there a good guide to Phobos anywhere? I would
like to learn the more commonly used algorithms / convenience
functions, so I don't have to look through the docs trying to
find what I want, and so that I don't keep having to re-invent
the wheel when trying to work with data.
I’m actually not sure. I think the best stuff is usually the
examples in the documentation. If you’re searching for whether
something might be in Phobos, try seeing if there’s a module that
sounds right in the [index](https://dlang.org/phobos/index.html).
In general I just peruse different modules until I see a function
that fits what I need. It also depends on how functional you like
your code, there’s a lot of map/filter/etc. stuff that I
regularly write my own ad-hoc code for.
