We could minimize the breakage by moving it from std to etc (or something),
so it is still there in the distribution, but opt-in for the end user.

All we'd have to do to keep using it is search for "import std.net.curl"
and replace std with etc.

Then the build process would probably need to add the module, but that's
not that hard, rdmd would even do it automatically (I think).
