Huzzah!

I like to think std::string and std::vector are a pretty big deal too ;)

Those are a big deal. From a marketing perspective, those are 
gold IMO.

If these are as big a deal as people seem to think, the 
documentation could be improved by including a brief example of 
how to use.

In addition, the documentation page for vector [1] seems a bit 
thin. It doesn't have the top-level comment like basic_string 
does [2]. At a minimum, that should be fixed before going on a 
marketing blitz...

Interesting... you can see in the code, there are doco comments
everywhere, but the docs are empty O_o
Also the second line of the description linking to the C++ docs is
missing too... where did all the docs go?

I've tried to iterate on the docs a couple of times, but I have no
idea how I'm supposed to do it, because they're only published when
the PR is merged... how are you supposed to iterate locally?
That empty doco is not what I expect from looking at the source.

But yeah, I agree. More will come online soon-ish. We can give one
release to harden them up a bit before making a fuss about it.

The point I was trying to make wrt basic_string was that the top 
of it looks like

/**
  * D language counterpart to C++ std::basic_string.
  *
  * C++ reference: $(LINK2 
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string)
  */
extern(C++, class)
extern(C++, (StringNamespace))
struct basic_string(T, Traits = char_traits!T, Alloc = 
allocator!T)

whereas the top of vector looks like

extern(C++, class) struct vector(T, Alloc = allocator!T)

It has no top-level comment. With no top-level comment, all the 
other documentation won't show up.

I'll give it a good do-over.

What's the story with string though; the second line (linking back to
the C++ reference) of the doco isn't there... O_o

Hmm, I didn't notice that. It also is a problem for 
core.stdcpp.array. I'm looking at other uses of LINK2 in druntime 
and they are usually of the form $(LINK2 http:/xxx, some_text). 
Without digging in to the documentation generator, I think LINK2 
is meant to be used when you want to replace the link with some 
text. I don't see many cases of raw links being used (the source 
shows up as a raw link, but it's not done that way in the files), 
someone else may know better than I do.

The text before the link is gone too.
I don't know how to iterate on the docs, since they only appear from
CI, and I have no idea how to create them myself :/

I don't know what the "correct" way is, but to build dlang.org locally 
on macOS, from the dlang.org dir I run:

     DIFFABLE=1 make -f posix.mak html

To build phobos docs locally, from the phobos dir I run:

     make -f posix.mak build-html

To build druntime locally, from the druntime dir I run:

     make -f posix.mak doc

However this last one fails for me on macOS due to platform-specific 
compile errors:

     src/core/stdcpp/typeinfo.d(147): Error: static assert:  "Missing 
std::type_info binding for this platform"

In any case you'll find all the generated local docs in your 
dlang.org/web dir.

It means the git repository was not clean when the compiler was 
built.

It will be as soon as gcc with new ABI will be supported ;-)

Nice work!

When checking the upcoming changes for 2.089 (currently, the 
nightly version), some of the changes from 2.088 also appear for 
2.089 (e.g., "core.atomic : msync has been removed" appears in 
both lists of changes, one for 2.088 and one for the nightly). Is 
that the same change, or two different ones with the same name?

The old ABI works now at least. The new ABI is blocked on move
constructors; libstdc++ has an interior pointer >_<
