I should probably be finishing up my latest fixes to std.datetime's docs then, so 
that they can go out with the next release (which will be the first one with 
std.datetime).

One thing that I'm wondering about though is the renaming of functions in 
std.string to fix capitalization. There was talk of doing it, and there were a 
fair number of changes to the functions in there, moving stuff to std.array and 
the like, but I don't believe that any of the functions in std.string have been 
renamed yet. I would have thought that it would be desirable to rename them at 
the same time that so many functions were moved, since then it would concentrate 
all of those major changes and make them less painful in the long run.
