Should "std.net.curl" be moved from Phobos to Deimos?

Deimos currently only hosts bindings, not wrappers, as part of
its objective. So, etc.c.curl would be appropriate, but
std.net.curl would be unprecedented.

I think both etc.c.curl and std.net.curl should just be ripped
out and moved into a CurlD (or whatever) project, hosted by
someone on Github (such as Jonas Drewsen or a maintainer), on the
grounds that I don't think Phobos is a place for wrapper
libraries.

I think std.net.curl is a well designed wrapper library, and I
would happily continue to use it in my projects, but I don't
think it's appropriate for Phobos.

As an aside, personally I think Deimos is pointless; and worse,
horribly executed (A Github organization? Really?). A simple wiki
page like this one[1] can do the job much better and without the
ridiculous self-imposed disadvantages we are putting up with by
using a Github organization.
