There are currently two Phobos PR's that implement essentially

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/2343
From the discussion on Github, it seems to me that we should
only
introduce one new function rather than two similar but
not-quite-the-same functions. Since the discussion seems stuck
on
Github, I thought I should bring it here to the larger
community to see
if we can reach a consensus (who am I kidding... but one can
hope :-P)
on:
(1) What name to use (bring on the bikeshed rainbow)
(2) Exactly what functionality should be included.
(3) Which PR to merge.
I concur with what others have said. Neither of these proposals
carry their own weight. They're just shuffling around
functionality that we already have so that someone can write
their code in a slightly different order. If someone really wants
to alter their code like this, they can just write these
functions themselves, but they're not of enough value to the
community at large to be worth adding to Phobos.
