$ wc -l std/stdio.d
     4130 std/stdio.d

Looks reasonably sized to me.

$ wc -l std/**/*.d | sort -nr | head

   212342 total
    33275 std/datetime.d
    14589 std/algorithm.d
    10703 std/range.d
     9010 std/uni.d
     6540 std/math.d
     6452 std/traits.d
     6254 std/format.d
     5235 std/typecons.d
     5183 std/conv.d

Better choose from these. Jonathan has long planned to break 
std.datetime into smaller parts, but he's as busy as the next guy so 
feel free to take up on that.


Thanks,

Andrei
