I do not know how to write D, so the following might not compile, but it's not hard to give it a go:
copy(sort(array(map!(uniq(byLine(stdin, KeepTerminator.yes)), a => idup(a)))), stdout.lockingTextWriter())

Are you serious? You are offended by the idea of reading documentation?This is not helping the credibility of your argument. Again, I'm not a D user, but this is just silly.
