It has nothing to do with the name. I think unicode is better. But
(allegedly) we have existing projects that use std.uni, which would
break if we renamed.
Wouldn't the old std.uni remain but deprecated?
Deprecated functions don't compile. Any code that uses it would have to
be modified.
Only non-breaking solution would be to keep both. In the past, it has
been suggested to have std.uni simply publicly import std.unicode (or
analogous solution to some other module renaming). You would always
retain std.uni in this solution.
