not good. stdx is the same trap as javax: throw-away that never 
gets thown away and sticks around until forever.

better is to include it in std with a big pragma that warns at 
compilation time about its instability (a kind of staging... 
stage)

warnings about interface/behavior changes should be issued with 
every new release of the module *in code* (and in doc, of course)

old interfaces could be or could not be not kept with 
deperecation pragmas

in the medium/long term, pragmas will get removed progressively
