Btw, I've got no problems with you breaking the API of 2.0 either.
Though you might consider moving the current implementation to
std.deprecated.regex and leaving it there for a year with a
pragma(msg, "This module is deprecated").
That way making a quick fix to broken code is just a matter of
inserting ".deprecated" into your import statements.
I was thinking of moving older stuff to etc, is that ok?
What's the rationale for "etc"? Why not "deprecated", o something
shorter
like "old", or "d1" (this last one could be good for future deprecated
libraries, like when D3 is available there probably be a "d2" too).
In the words of George Costanza: "Because it's there!"

Shouldn't that be George Mallory?
No, he said "because it is there". George said "because it's there":

George: So, she fell, and then she started screaming, "My back! My
back!" So, I picked her up and took her to the hospital.
Elaine: How is she?
George: She's in traction.
Elaine: Okay, I'm sorry.
George: It's not funny, Elaine.
Elaine: I know. I'm sorry. I'm serious.
George: Her back went out. She's gotta be there for a couple of days.
All she said on the way over in the car was, "Why, George, why?!" I
said, "Because it's there!"
