Yeah. Don't use anything in an internal package in either druntime or
Phobos. And now that we can do stuff like package(std), it should be
possible to fix it so that those symbols _can't_ be imported while still
being usable by other code inside the higher level package. Previously, the
only way to have core.internal accessible by the rest of core was to have it
be public, which then didn't actually prevent you form doing stuff like
importing it in your own code even though you shouldn't. So, core.internal
should be fixed to use package(core).
