If that's the case, then I'd be inclined to argue that what should go in
std.experimental is modules that past the Phobos review process so that rather
than sticking them in std directly, they go in std.experimental for a release
or two so that they get better battle-tested before actually being put into
std, where APIs shouldn't be changing. So, rather than doing anything to speed
up the development process, std.experimental is for making sure that APIs are
solid before they get set in stone in Phobos proper.
