[phobos] next release

[Steve Schveighoffer]

Could we not put a warning in std.stopwatch like:

"warning, std.stopwatch is experimental, and may change API/module name"

I personally think std.datetime makes the most sense (with everything).  But 
clearly, an 11th hour decision without consensus or a complete implementation 
may not be the best idea.  Locking ourselves into something without knowing what 
it's going to look like doesn't make any sense to me.

In principle I agree that this would be the tidiest solution. But considering 
the size of the date/time modules that have been proposed (and those aren't even 

complete yet), I fear std.datetime will be huge.

How about keeping std.date and introducing std.time?

Anyway, if there is agreement on a solution, I can take care of moving stuff 
around tomorrow - tonight for most of you, that is - if nobody beats me to it.

Oh, I forgot that hasn't been resolved. Let's do this:

1. deprecate std.perf

2. Define std.datetime, paste std.stopwatch in it, and have it import 
std.date for now

3. Put a reminding comment in std.date that it'll be deprecated in favor 
of std.datetime

Does someone have the time to do so today?
