sorry if you feel offended, i never meant that. what i meant is that it's hard in c++, but easy in D when one knows how to do that. i've learned D mostly by reading other people code, and there is nothing wrong in asking questions, quite the contrary. but the requested solution is not "universal" enough to be included in Phobos (what if i want an index instead of a value? or (index, value) tuple? or just check if it is there? or find either `int` or `double`?). it's easier to write specialized template for required cases than to try to make it generic (and complex) enough. but it's much harder to write that in c++, to the extent that it's easier to include that things in standard. just stay with us and you will see that D shines in such things (and in many other areas too ;-).
