There is a module called std.stdint located here:

http://dlang.org/phobos/std_stdint.html

but it doesn't appear in the documentation index here:

http://dlang.org/phobos/index.html

Not only that but when looking at the source it's just publicly importing core.stdc.stdint.

What's the deal here? Is this a supported module? Should it appear in the doc index?

I think it's a leftover from D's earlier days, but don't quote me on that.

A deprecated module perhaps.

It was probably something that used to exist in phobos but was moved to druntime, so the std one was left as an alias of sorts to the core one (but undocumented so people don't use it in the future).

To me it looks like std.stdint belongs under phobos/std/c with all the other modules that publicly import something from druntime core.stdc.

Examples here are std.c.stddef, std.c.stdio, std.c.string.  A few like std.c.string have additional definitions over the core.stdc modules.
