Earlier in this thread it was pointed out that it's too arbitrary 
whether new modules will get accepted into `std.experimental` or 
not, therefore a fork that's more open to community contributions 
(whether good or bad), would be of value. As it is, some of 
Phobos is really great, some of it could do with more 
nothrow/custom allocator alternatives or a nicer API that clashes 
with itself less often, and some of it is just horrid.

P.S. Who chose this silly name "std.experimental"? It might as 
well be "std.nonstandard".
