I got the opposite feeling. That it's generally better for
utility functions, that could be useful for the rest of Phobos,
be kept private. Then we can later extract those functions if
they're considered useful.
The more public API the harder it will become to get the
changes accepted. All the bikeshedding about where to put the
functions and what to name them.
That is a bit frustrating part - we (reviewers) kind of want
stuff cleanly separated between modules for further re-usage but
at the same time we will make your life hell when reviewing how
exactly this stuff needs to be incorporated :P
