Just throwing in an idea, in case no one mentioned it yet:

To avoid cluttering the Phobos directory structure, 
documentation, makefiles, etc. with redirect modules, the 
redirect modules can be placed in a completely separate directory 
(which would also have a "std" subdirectory), which would be 
added to sc.ini/dmd.conf's include path.
