std/range/package.d and std/regex/package.d both have a bunch of stuff in. Why not?
Those are also mistakes (well, probably just semi-migrated from the old big module). Suppose you want some of that stuff without the rest of the package. How do you get to it?
The biggest benefit of breaking up the big modules is so you can access some of it without requiring all of it. But when the part you want is in the package.d, you can't get it independently anymore; importing that also imports everything else, negating the reason it was split up in the first place.
