We're discussing adding the all-inclusive module std.all to Phobos. That
should simplify scripting. My experiments indicate that the cost of
parsing all of std.all is small in an empty program, but I haven't
tested things with actual programs.
If anyone would like to test things and come back with results and
impressions, I paste the content of std.all at the end of this. Just
paste the code into a module of yours and then include that module in
your regular code.
For some reason, std.bigint has some issues so I commented it out. It's
also possible that you don't have std.container installed, so I
commented that out too.
Thanks,

As long as no unneeded code is imported as a result, that's cool. I
like it a lot. I just know from a project I worked on that M$ has an
import that looks innocuous, however it imported a large chunk of it's
standard library in one shot. Needless to say, it made analyzing the
software much more difficult and I believe it made the resulting files
bigger as a result.
I can't recall any more than that as it's been a few years.
