javax, and its history and vagueness, is exactly why we have 
std.experimental. std.exp was also proposed, but rejected because it's 
not obvious what it means.

See, for instance, javax.swing, which was supposed to be promoted to 
java package, but produced a huge backlash for people who were going to 
have to modify their imports.

The idea is to spell out "expect breakage here, this module is 
experimental". If you don't know what this means, then that's too bad. 
But you can't complain that we didn't warn you :)
