I'm really not a fan of "collection" or "collections" and think 
that container is a far better name, but if we want to avoid 
breaking existing code, I don't think that we have much choice 
but to rename it - though for myself, I wouldn't mind just having 
std.container be fixed in a manner that breaks existing code. I'd 
rather deal with the code breakage than the name collection or 
collections, but as a community, that's probably not a good way 
to go about things, particularly since we do want to minimize 
breakage to the times when we really need to break code.
