A modern standard could be added. Things such as dynamic modules (dll/so) and sockets are supported by modern operating systems and could have their own standard interface. To see if your compiler supports it, a MODERN version statement could be used, or something in std.compiler.


version(MODERN)
{
 import std.modern.sockets;
   ...
}
else
{
 /* get a better OS please :) */
 static assert(0);
}


I could possibly do one for sockets, I have been planning on doing it for some time.

What happens in 10 years time? Will modern still be modern?

Call it millenium standard. :) Don't worry, almost everything called "millenuim" would be vastly outdated by the time the issue actually raises up.
