Fixed bugzilla 3088: std.xml.check() fails on xml comments.

Fixed wrong array indexing; s[0..n] scraps entire input after "--"! Test case by Andrew Talbot.

I suggest we leave std.xml alone or redesign it. It is a waste of time to fix bugs in it, it's very slow.

I see. I just could not ignore the bug reports.

How about deleting std.xml at present? Or at least mark it deprecated? If we just leave it alone, other bugs will be reported to bugzilla and they will end up being ignored.

The same applies to other dying modules such as std.stream. Some people are still reporting bugs in std.stream. I feel sorry for them; being ignored is sad.

Of course, we should not do this if the changes are inconsistent with the book.

I vote for deprecation of both xml and stream.

The bug reports for stream are still relevant to D1.

Also, deprecation does not mean "will not fix bugs". If people supply fixes, we should incorporate them.
