I agree. I'd personally love it if std.unicode replaced
std.uni, but at this point the rename is insufficiently
motivated. It's not like people go, "hmmm I need some Unicode
stuff, let me see if std.unicode is there. No? The hell with
it, I'm moving to another language."

It isn't really a rename as a new module is being integrated. We
can keep what we have under std.uni for a while. If you want the
new hotness, go for std.unicode .
