I'd like to argue, that an introduction of 'phobos versioning' is 
a good idea, but should not be allowed in D2, but would warrant a 
D3 release.

In D3, std phobos would always be the latest and greatest. By 
using D3, you agree to this, including any breaking changes 
introduced into that lastest and greatest version.

But since each version of phobos released in D3 would have it's 
own version, you can always opt back into that version that works 
for you, at any time.

This frees up phobos to be innovative, and not worry too much 
about breaking changes, while also not confusing new users of D, 
as to which version they should be using.
