std.bigint?

Just wondering, is std.bigint still included in the D2 standard library? 
Yes, the source file is there and the documentation is on the site, but it 
does not appear on the list of standard library modules on the sidebar for 
D2 (but unlike the documentation for std.bitarray, which indicates 
deprecation, the bigint documentation does not). In addition, there are some 
instances where BigInt is a bit dodgy (for example, it is impossible to do 
something such as someBigInt % someIntegerVariable for ANY 
someIntegerVariable type that isn't int, meaning that uint, long, ubyte, 
etc. all produce errors - I might try figuring out the cause of this and 
file some bug reports later).

So is bigint being deprecated in the future or is it just unmaintained?

Thanks,
- Julian
