curdir and pardir have been deprecated on the basis that "." and ".."
are used for these on all platforms. However I've noticed something in
Python, this is in Lib\macpath.py:

# strings representing various path-related bits and pieces
curdir = ':'
pardir = '::'

So it seems there is a use-case for keeping curdir/pardir in Phobos
and the above should probably be added. Another little use-case is
that removing these breaks user-code for no reason other than saving
two lines of code in Phobos.
