Git will allow you to create a patch from one file and apply it 
to another. Still manual.


Working in std.experimental I found the private symbols had to 
work with. That is likely not as bad with this since the idea 
would be to recreate the phobos ecosystem around the changes. To 
that end it may be best to take a module and it's entirety into 
the new version and forwarding only happens across modules.
