In keeping with this point, maybe also emit a warning when 
building?  Something to the effect of:
"WOAAAAH, hey there, you're using a module from std.experimental; 
don't expect it to work next week.  Or ever."

On a more serious note, what's the vision for bug reporting on 
this?  If we just use the current Bugzilla, I'd imagine it should 
at least have its own keyword, but I wonder if it shouldn't just 
be its own component so it provides a clear separation from 
Phobos.  (As a  value-add, then the hypothetical warning can also 
tell them to report errors against it specifically rather than 
generating noise.)
