Ha! That's awesome. When do you think this update will take 
effect?

Then why isn't "std.math" not "std.stdmath"? Default (or 
"standard") libs should have names without qualifiers (seeing as 
how they're in the standard library already). Libs with extra or 
uncommon utilities should be the ones with naming pre/post 
affixes, eg, "std.io" and "std.iospecial".
