So, the main reason I wanted to push for this in phobos is because it's an enabler.
Indeed. I know there's a window library that was waiting on this work to try for Phobos.
Also, worth noting that the one module I import more than any other in my libs is.... color.d. Image load/save depends on it. Windowing display depends on it. Graphing depends on one or the other, GUI depends on windowing, terminal I managed to keep independent... but it is REALLY tempting to make it depend on color too.
It is a very useful base building block, and moreover, having it in Phobos means User X's graphing lib and my image libs could conceivably be able to interchange data with ease since we both use the same underlying data structure!
