I don't know yet how it will turn, but phobos is very much in 
need of a better Files and Sockets. Certainly the ambition is to 
write a standard-worthy library.

Honestly it seems to me that the std.experimental-experiment 
didn't succeed. It's still too much overhead to develop in phobos 
(and get it reviewed/merged), there is no clear path from 
std.experimental -> std, and if sth. is well-proofed outside of 
phobos there is no point in putting it into std.experimental in 
the first place.

Developing std.io-v0.1.0 on dub until it reaches v1.0.0, seems 
like a straightforward and obvious approach. Also at our current 
community size, I'm hardly worried about namespace clashes.
Plus I'm already using std.internal.cstring as workhorse to 
support any string-like ranges (including @nogc std.path ranges) 
and core.internal.string : unsignedToTempString to avoid the fat 
and exception throwing formattedWrite (even the templated variant 
isn't nothrow).
