STL won't be included in Phobos, at least as far as I know, but I 
believe it should be possible to interface to parts of it with 
extern(C++). To do it, you need to create names for every part of 
an STL type, including the allocator. Walter discussed all of 
this in a recent talk.

It's really more for using existing C++ code which already uses 
the STL. In terms of algorithms, D is already in a better shape 
with std.algorithm. In terms of containers, you might find Phobos 
lacking for the moment, but progress will accelerate when 
Andrei's allocators are finally included in Phobos.
