I don't see how. Just move the code into another module and publicly
import that module from std/algorithm.d. Problem pretty much solved.
The issue is code organization. If you want to split up std.algorithm (or
std.datetime or whatever) into multiple modules, you have to create a new
package with a completely different name with no connection to the
original
save for the fact that the original publicly imports it.
My view is that people will not import the smaller modules, they will
only ever import std.algorithm.
I think we should be looking for a solution that not only allows
replacing module -> package transparently, but also allows people to
import the newly introduced fine-grained modules.
