I agree with Adam on this: "Just a quick concern, I don't think a
package.d should ever have anything except imports in it"

What is the rationale? -- Andrei
My reasoning is simple : when `package.d` only contains public imports
it allows to both use simple `import std.allocator` for those who want
to get started quickly and pick only necessary imports for those who try
optimizing build times / code clarity. Not doing that does not change
anything for those who prefer `import std.allocator` but makes fine
tuning of imports impossible. Thus former approach looks either equal or
superior for all use cases.
The "import std.allocator" is already minimal - only contains the high
level stuff. -- Andrei
