Hello all,

As I promised at DConf (though sadly arriving a bit later than I'd hoped), I've submitted a PR to convert std.random to a package:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/3406

I'd like to ask for some attention to this because, first, I think it's important that we agree that this particular package structure is correct/logical, and second, I really don't want to have to rework this if anyone commits to std.random in the meanwhile ;-)

Beyond perhaps documentation issues I hope this PR should be fairly non-controversial and easy to approve (or disapprove).

Is there any point in doing this if we're going to be redesigning std.random as you've been working on? In fact, it could get in the way of that, since we could potentially just make the new version be modules in the package, and the old version be in std.random.package (meaning that if you imported std.random, you get the old, deprecated stuff, and if you import std.random.foo, you get the new stuff).
