LOL. Yeah. I haven't said anything in that thread. However, I 
agree with both David and Andrei. std.experimental should be for 
the place to put stuff that's passed the Phobos review process 
and is considered ready for inclusion. But we put it in 
std.experimental rather than directly into std like we've done in 
the past in order to give it some time to be battle tested prior 
to actually being included into Phobos proper, since it becomes 
_very_ difficult to fix the API once it's in std.

We can use dub for the stuff that hasn't passed the review 
process yet and std.experimental as a staging ground for std.
