I'm strongly against this. It makes the module name longer for little gain and 
breaks code. And std.uni is actually one of the modules that you're likely to 
have to spell out completely due to how it overlaps with std.ascii.

Were there even any functions in std.uni which get deprecated as part of this 
change. I don't remember any, but I'd have to check. But either way, changing 
the module name would introduce 100% breakage in the module's usage and for 
little to no gain IMHO.
