          Reporter: code dawg.eu

This was proposed in the dlang.org documentation comments [1][2] by Oleg Bt.

Why "std.stdio"? May be better "std.io"? And "std.stdio.stderr" looks bad.

I think it's a good point, there isn't any benefit in using the C-ish stdio
name.
And because std.stdio is one of the most used modules, it would even save some
typing.
