Thoughts?
I don't think something like this belongs in phobos. It's not
universal enough to warrant all the extra work it would require
to add and maintain in phobos.
There are significant advantages to doing it as a dub project:
- Not being locked into phobo's irregular update cycle
- Making use of other third party libraries
- Easier to control how it is built (the distributed phobos isn't
even built with inlining enabled currently)
- Easier to accept pull requests for cases where the author isn't
a phobos committer
- Much more freedom to break code while still letting people use
an old version if they can't do the necessary updates for
whatever reason
I'd love having access to something like this though. My own
color stuff is always cobbled together from code gathered from
random websites and I'm rarely confident I implemented them
correctly or efficiently.
