Next question in the row - what to do with a mission to swap std.regexp 
to std.regex?
Right now, std.file listDir is the only one function in the whole Phobos 
that uses std.regexp.
I managed to set it on the std.regex rails, but making soft deprecation 
warning appear at the right time without breaking alias listdir 
->listDir is a messy thing. Now it seems like a bad idea to update 
already deprecated API ;)
So, should I make all of listdir/listDir templated so that they show 
deprecation warnings when used?
