There's no point in having modules reinvent the wheel everytime. CircularBuffer is clearly usable in other contexts. 

Reusing such code makes sure bug fixes and efficiency gains are done once and for all and work across the board.

That seems like a very artificial exercise leading to unnecessary contorsions.

CircularBuffer belongs somewhere else; maybe std.range or std.container

I have mixed feelings about that. If you'll notice, std.compress doesn't have any imports! I wanted to make at least one module that doesn't pull in 100% of everything in Phobos (one of my pet peeves).
