the standard library. In principle, I don't really have a problem with
that, however as someone pointed out, you don't really expect to be able

because not all machines have graphics output is tad extreme.
What I'm saying is that if it *is* in Phobos, then there should be a
software renderer so that it *is* available to use on machines with no
graphics card. If it isn't in Phobos, then I wouldn't see a software
renderer as a requirement.
That's fair, and I don't think anyone here would disagree. Software
renderers are hard things to write though, so I don't expect we'll get one
early on. But I'd like to include one at some point...
