Well, keeping things in limbo for such many years (@property, 
anyone?) is not going to help neither.

I agree it is a fine balance between changing for better 
consistency and conserve for compatibility.

Still, some changes are small and would solve problems for the 
many years to come. I still cannot forget that decision to keep 
the flawed std.uni name instead of a std.unicode name. It wasn't 
even costly. But, well...

And one day from now you will write "The paradox is that at one 
moment we decided to keep the std.uni name because of taxonomical 
compatibility etc. etc. etc."
