I think this needs to happen prior to the formal review/voting. I 
would say it should be a precursor to starting the official 
review, however this would raise the bar too high for things like 
Jacob's Serialization library; he has a working library, but it 
isn't ready for Phobos and it would be silly to require the 
translation prior to approving it for Phobos.

How we choose to add to the exp module would need some 
consideration.
