Apparently nothing's been getting reviewed for inclusion in Phobos lately, and
the review queue has once again become fairly long according to the wiki
(http://prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?ReviewQueue). I also noticed that a new XML
library is already in the review queue.
Is there some reason why none of this stuff is being reviewed? If std.xml2 is
really ready for review, we should review this ASAP since XML processing is
fundamental functionality for a modern standard library in a high-level
language.
IIRC the current std.xml's inadequacy was a major complaint that Jacob
Carolberg, the author of std.serialize, had. Perhaps when/if std.xml2 is
accepted, he should modify std.serialize to use it, and std.serialize should be
next in the queue.
I did a quick look at std.xml2, and noticed that it did not have a range
interface. All Phobos modules that accept input data and write to output should
use a range interface.
