Phobos is a different story.
I've always disagreed with this stance. _parts_ of druntime are specific to the compiler/runtime interface, but MOST of it isn't and shouldn't be compiler specific. The closer the various compilers' runtime's are to the same the better the ecosystem will be, imho. So, I encourage pushing changes upstream. Later, Brad
