No. I cannot build an efficient and safe appender on this API.

The resize() fix you requested is going to get implemented. I just
haven't actually added it yet.

Then we might be hasty to vote this in. Ideally Phobos should be
integrating tried and true APIs.

I wish we voted allocator in once it's used throughout std.container to
great effect.

I see your point, but at the same time this does create a chicken-and-egg problem. The use case that inspired me to work on allocators is much simpler: Allocating simple temporary objects in performance-critical functions. I don't have any plans to do containers and I don't know of anyone else who does in the short term. Is there a way to avoid waiting indefinitely to get allocators into Phobos?
