This looks very similar to std.experimental. I originally

std.experimental:
module that may become part of the standard libary later
your proposed library "mars"?:
modules that will probably not become a part of the standard
library. They are "addons" to the standard library. i.e.
Maybe you would like the SDL library, but it doesn't make sense
to include in the standard library because it it not useful to
everyone. For these kinds of libraries it would be nice to
have a set of community supported libraries that shouldn't be
in the standard library but are still useful to a subset of the
community.
However, it appears that this proposal is just another version
of std.experimental.
This is what I originally though as well. Personally I think what
you just described would be much more useful. It really feels
like this is just another std.experimental with only subtle
distinctions. I don't think it adds much value.
