The con is that some people may find it confusing, thinking they should 
import algorithm instead of std.algorithm etc.

On the other hand the documentation of each module has "std." in clear 
in the heading.


Thoughts?

Can we add an io package to std while we're at it and have  std.stdio 
public import it? :)

Please, new I/O package is in the works. Meanwhile there is no point 
wasting a good name for the existing ad-hoc wrapper on top of libc.

Since the fix for names leaking outside the frames, it looks bad 
with long std.* names wrapped.

Yeah, I think we should make std.container.* and std.range.* collapsed /
expandable as well. It should look something like this:

	std
	 � algorithm
	 ...
	 � (+) container
	 � conv
	 � csv
	 ...

When expanded it should look something like this:

	std
	 � algorithm
	 ...
	 � (-) container
	    � binaryheap
	    � dlist
	    � rbtree
	    � slist
	    � util
	 � conv
	 � csv
	 ...

Not sure about the exact location of the expand button, but you get the
idea.

There was a proposed change to wrap the names on the period, what 
happened to that?

I'm worried that this is an interim solution that only buys a 
little time until we put more things into packages.

It works on the Pre-release pages, but not the Release pages, 
right?  You pulled the fix 
(https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/commit/2ce7126ef103c4de0c4c84
16798ae3ea20aac34), 
but it looks like it hasn't been published yet.

Right. And when I tested locally, I forgot to rebuild Phobos.

That's why *all* packages need to be expandable, not just the top-level
std.
