std.experimental be in its own repository.
Just showing that phobos is not the right place to develop
modules/packages, also mir.
IMO std.experimental provides little benefit over dub, but comes
with many downsides.
This allows selection of the dependency on std.experimental
separate from phobos.
You cannot link against diamond dependencies of different
versions though, so we'd have to exclude it from libphobos and
put it separately.
It still would be an "official" dlang package, and might even
be included in the distribution (the latest version anyway),
and docs included on the website.
Not sure why inclusion in distribution is often mentioned as such
a thing.
It's trivial and common to have separate libraries/dependencies
in every language with a healthy ecosystem.
But if needed, you could have your dub package depend on a
prior version.
