I'm strongly against this. It makes the module name longer for little gain and breaks code. And std.uni is actually one of the modules that you're likely to have to spell out completely due to how it overlaps with std.ascii. > Transition should be, also, smoother: old code will continue to > work with current std.uni module, that will be marked as > deprecated, while new code will use the proposed module, named > std.unicode. Were there even any functions in std.uni which get deprecated as part of this change. I don't remember any, but I'd have to check. But either way, changing the module name would introduce 100% breakage in the module's usage and for little to no gain IMHO. - Jonathan M Davis
