Why not just improve Phobos itself? Make PRs to add new modules to std.experimental, announce them here and elsewhere on the web, and get the community to support it.

Earlier in this thread it was pointed out that it's too arbitrary whether new modules will get accepted into `std.experimental` or not, therefore a fork that's more open to community contributions (whether good or bad), would be of value. As it is, some of Phobos is really great, some of it could do with more nothrow/custom allocator alternatives or a nicer API that clashes with itself less often, and some of it is just horrid.

P.S. Who chose this silly name "std.experimental"? It might as well be "std.nonstandard".
