Nice idea, but at the first level of detail (without looking
into it)
the title should not be dictated by implementation artifacts,
i.e. we
don't have modules such as "std.templates" or "std.structs"
etc.
Conversely, if you implement a pattern via other means than a
mixin,
you're in trouble :o).

Since they are idioms, why not std.idioms or std.idiomatic?
std.patterns is the sweet spot.
Andrei
I like `std.idioms`. `std.patterns` can be ambiguous, since it
can also refer to regex patterns or to functional pattern
matching - and not just to design patterns.
