As d-newcomer I want to support this! A large standard library
is an  attractive  argument for the language because it makes
sure that its features will be supported as the language evolves.

Its organization is currently rather confusing and I suggest
to seriously think about a deeper nested structure like it has
been suggested for std.numeric: std.numeric.~, std.concurrent.~,
std.io.~ etc. The pain of transformation is once, to keep it,
it is recurring.
