That is true, but an alias can be easily created.
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.
We can still have std.uni for any period of time still available.
Right now is the best moment for a change. We don't even need to
break something.
