Author of the PR here. If this is the precedent you want to set 
that's fine with me.

Two things though: We would need to do some announcement to tell 
people that the purpose of std.experimental is fundamentally 
changing from "staging area for new modules" to "staging area for 
all new symbols". Two, we need some set rules on when each type 
of addition goes out std.experimental. I can envision things 
sitting there for a while if we don't have a hard and fast rule, 
as people will want to keep making additions/changes.
