I'm really not a fan of "collection" or "collections" and think
that container is a far better name, but if we want to avoid
breaking existing code, I don't think that we have much choice
but to rename it - though for myself, I wouldn't mind just having
std.container be fixed in a manner that breaks existing code. I'd
rather deal with the code breakage than the name collection or
collections, but as a community, that's probably not a good way
to go about things, particularly since we do want to minimize
breakage to the times when we really need to break code.
