We plan to add a set of numeric packages and this would be real pain if they would be one-by-one moved from experimental to stable std. So sci.* should be considered as experimental during few years.

Please review commit-by-commit

Change for dlang.org dlang/dlang.org#1269


EDIT:

Another way

Introduce std.sci instead and mark it all experimental during few years.

Introducing a new top-level package is a HUGE DEAL. For one thing, it will break build tools such as rdmd, which know which top-level packages to exclude from linking (as they'll be in phobos.lib). For another, it might conflict with users' packages.

We need a very strong reason to do this. At least this requires a forum thread. Right now I don't think we should do this.
