+1

If the package feature is ready I think the problem should be fairly 
pull request friendly barring the usual 100-post debates on the most 
natural module names.

Amen to that. I think of splitting std.regex as well.
By the end of day module as a unit of encapsulation should have only 
what it takes to implement isolated piece of functionality. That should 
be applied Within reason obviously as packing similar stuff together 
just makes life simpler as long as file is small.
