The parse time will invariably grow as phobos grows. I expect std.all
will become the preferred method of using D. The problems are:
1. People will come to expect std.all to have everything and the kitchen
sink in it, so we're stuck.
2. People will inevitably do compile speed benchmarks with std.all. And
then we'll suck.
So I say "no" to std.all.
Given that it's meant as an easy way to include the commonly used
functions etc, rather than all, how about a std.common along side it?
Where std.common imports commonly used code by scripts etc, and std.all
imports anything that isn't std.common? This way it's the best of both
worlds.
