I agree that all of the functions you suggested deserve a place in
std.algorithm (or std.range). Please add one bugzilla entry or better
yet let me know if you'd like to join Phobos's devs (subject to team
approval) so you can add them yourself.
Also, I agree that std.algorithm has gotten a bit large. Any sensible
ideas for addressing that should be discussed. Off the top of my head,
I'm thinking that mutators vs. non-mutators could be a possible
criterion for separation.
This doesn't matter too much. Parsing std.algorithm is quick by the
compiler, and all of std.algorithm is templates.
The bigger issue is the documentation. D has been very stagnant in
improving the doc generator. We are missing a global function/symbol
index, cross-linked docs, and many other goodies that have been in systems
like doxygen since its inception.
BTW, it warms my heart to see that our std.algorithm is the fourth
Google hit when searching for std::algorithm (or std.algorithm, which
seems to produce the same results). I feel std.container can be a
similarly compelling offering. *cough*RBTree*cough*Steve*cough*
Yeah yeah :) My spare-time priorities:
1. New Minivan
2. Getting baby's room ready
3. Cleaning rest of house
4. Completing RBTree for you
