Please understand that I'm not suggesting we start refactoring 
druntime for 2.067.  All I'm asking for is that we recognize that 
C/C++ library and OS bindings don't belong in druntime as public 
modules, and we gradually work towards migrating them to phobos 
or some other library in the years to come.

Since C++ language bindings are a new addition, let's not 
exacerbate the problem by putting it in druntime as core.stdcpp, 
but set a new precedent by putting them in std.cpp (or 
core.stdcpp in phobos, or whatever else you have in mind).
