Rejected in its current implementation
Review manager comment
Apart from some implementation / documentation issues mentioned by reviewers important concern is general lack of interest in such module. It looks too niche to get amount of attention needed for detailed reviewing and this will remain concern even if all issues will be addressed. One possible recommendation is to keep module as separate dub package in Phobos candidate category so that it can't be easily discovered by those seeking sinal implementation and go for another review once it gets some user base to back it.
