[phobos] proposal for new top level package name "experimental"

[Andrei Alexandrescu]

Problem is that we'd occupy two top-level namespaces instead of one. 
Right now people know better than define a package called "std". From 
here onwards they'd need to remember that both "std" and "experimental" 
are verboten.

I wouldn't want to take the discussion much further, as I'm sure there 
are many nuances of paint for this bikeshed. If you want top-level 
experimental, go for it.
