I've noticed that GDC's version of Phobos is missing some features from DMD's. Is there a place to report this, and is it possible to, in the meantime, use DMD's Phobos?

Here's some of the things I've noticed in particular:

* std.algorithm is not split up
* std.algorithm.comparison.predSwitch is missing
* The version of enforce that takes an exception as a template argument is missing (ex. `enforce!MyException(condition, "message")`)

Which version of GDC are you using? It may be using an older version of Phobos.

It's phobos as seen in 2.066.  There should really be older versions of documentation on the dlang site for people to reference.

Does GDC not include the HTML Phobos documentation (as does DMD)?

I was about to post regarding some discrepancies in GDC's std.algorithm module. For example, the each template is also missing.

So, it may be tricky for someone to jump right into GDC without knowing about those differences. Some kind of reference of this would certainly be handy.
