ldc is a D1 compiler that comes with Tango standard lib, so it doesn't
have the std.stdio. You have to use Tango I/O functions.
Well, thanks for that, at least I know now. But I am a bit peeved. What
is the point in calling something 'std' if it is not standard. I am used
to 'std' meaning 'it comes with the compiler environment'.
It does. Tango is an alternative standard library, and in order to avoid
naming conflicts with D's standard library Phobos, the root package is
named tango instead of std.
LDC is an alternative compiler to the D reference compiler, their choice
of Tango as a standard library cannot be controlled by D or the spec. It
is a constant source of confusion and contention that there are "two"
standard libraries.
