Deprecated functions don't compile.  Any code that uses it would have to  
be modified.

Only non-breaking solution would be to keep both.  In the past, it has  
been suggested to have std.uni simply publicly import std.unicode (or  
analogous solution to some other module renaming).  You would always  
retain std.uni in this solution.
