Hi,

See: http://dlang.org/phobos/std_string.html

Do we still need to keep that notice around? It's been a long time since these symbols were moved and I haven't encountered any code in the wild that still relies on them.

Regards,
Alex

No, I think that that can be removed. There are some related code changes that need to be made as well (primarily public imports which should be removed), but when I went to do them earlier, it broke the dmd tests, and I haven't gotten back to it yet - though the list of deprecations and removals for this release is getting long enough (due to the delayed release) that I'm starting to be tempted to delay some of them by a release. We really should look at doing a release soon.

But if you want to, you can remove the notice, and I can sort out the related code changes later.

Yes... yes we should. It's been way too long.

I'm fine with waiting until the next release if we want to keep the deprecation list reasonable.
