Oh really, then what's the point of package.d?
It was originally added because Phobos had `std.algorithm` and
`std.datetime` and some people wanted to break them up into pieces, but
not break user code that still said `import std.algorithm` instead of
`import std.algorithm.sorting` (or whatever).
One alternative was to call the new things like
`std.algorithm_parts.sorted` but this name a little ugly and people
would be less likely to transition to it.
It still didn't work. I almost always just do `import std.algorithm;`.
Not worth my time to look up which specific algorithm submodule has the
thing I need, especially when most likely std.algorithm.foo is going to
import std.algorithm.bar anyway.
