sort is all but deprecated, since std.algorithm.sort exists.
reverse could even more easily be implemented as a library

D site can enjoy a page that lists the deprecated D2 features (and
maybe for each of them lists what to use instead of it), so current
D2 programmers can avoid what will be removed.
Good point.
I'd to do some more renaming around Phobos and figure out an approach to
deprecating names that aren't longer used.
I'm thinking:
std.conv -> std.conversion
Rationale: it's a seldom typed name so shortening it is just odd
std.stdio -> std.io
Rationale: stuttering sucks.
put(R, E) -> putNext(R, E)
Rationale: conveys the notion that there is progress in the output.
BidirectionalRange -> DoublyEndedRange
Rationale: bidirectional suggests something that can move *in* either
direction, whereas in fact the range can be shortened from either end.
Would this be an improvement?
