I don't think this is good for users. algorithm and 
ndslice.algorithm are used together in practice, for example 
`ndEach!swap(a, b);` We have few workaround for distinguishing 
via package: renaming, static import. But I consider that this 
always should work:

import std.range;
import std.algorithm;
import std.experimental.ndslice;

The reason is that users from math world in most of cases want to 
write small scripts fast and without knowing all language 
details. This is why Go is so popular comparing with D, thought. 
Go is smaller and simpler to learn and.

In addition, most of functions has very different API comparing 
with their prototypes from std.algorithms: multiple dimensions, 
multiple tensors, selection type, plus ndFind accepts static 
array as the first argument.
