Is there any point in doing this if we're going to be redesigning 
std.random as you've been working on? In fact, it could get in 
the way of that, since we could potentially just make the new 
version be modules in the package, and the old version be in 
std.random.package (meaning that if you imported std.random, you 
get the old, deprecated stuff, and if you import std.random.foo, 
you get the new stuff).
