The problem is that people that need Unicode stuff see `std.utf` and
assume that all Unicode related stuff are there.

I see (and experience myself) a lot of confusion over this. Dealing with
strings a person constantly has to guess which of these modules has what
they are looking for:

std.algorithm
std.ascii
std.conv
std.encoding
std.range
std.string
std.format
std.uni
std.utf

It's a mess. At least grouping the encoding stuff together would give it
some structure.

I see people have no idea what Unicode is about.
Unicode is not only the encoding - it's a de facto standard of internationalization and related algorithms. UTF is encoding.

So.. surely this suggests some structure would help with that, i.e.

std.encoding.ascii
std.encoding.latin1
std.encoding.utf

std.i18n.unicode
