Doing it while keeping `std.uni` would create a duplication in

versions forever whenever a better version that does the same
thing comes it will become very cluttered. Java walked that way.
Once the old `std.uni` will be finally removed - code will
break.
Yes, that is exactly what is needed. Today we only consider not
breaking at all, or breaking it as of next version of DMD and
without any support for what come before the breakage. This
boolean choice mindset isn't helping.
