Not only that but when looking at the source it's just publicly 
importing core.stdc.stdint.

What's the deal here? Is this a supported module? Should it 
appear in the doc index?

A deprecated module perhaps.

It was probably something that used to exist in phobos but was 
moved to druntime, so the std one was left as an alias of sorts 
to the core one (but undocumented so people don't use it in the 
future).

To me it looks like std.stdint belongs under phobos/std/c with all the
other modules that publicly import something from druntime core.stdc.

Examples here are std.c.stddef, std.c.stdio, std.c.string.  A few like
std.c.string have additional definitions over the core.stdc modules.
