I think that I can get to it soon (though unfortunately, I've thought
that for a while now and still haven't reached that point). My current
plan is to make a number of smaller pull requests to clean it up a bit
first. I started with

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/2088

but it's blocked by a compiler bug. And since it could be a while
before that's fixed, I should probably just do some other pull requests
to do more of the cleanup and deal with the merge conflicts that it
causes. At least Andrei already removed _assertPred, so I don't have to
deal with that (and that made splitting std.datetime more of a pain
from what I recall - particularly since I was trying to remove it at
the same time, which wasn't a good idea).
