Neat. I couldn't make a better case for D to finally fix visibility of 
private symbols.

Why the heck should internal symbols conflict with public from other

Seems like turning std.regex into package will fix this one though, as I 
could put private things into std.regex.dont_touch_it_pretty_please.
