I just tried to explain this to someone as he was confused by scripting.

scripting was used because it was the first name suggested by @andralex, but while I don't hope that this will stay in experimental for too long, it's probably a good idea to use all is it will immediately tell every reader what's going on. scripting is rather vague.

Credits: this has been suggested by @carun here #5916 (comment)

I know the name doesn't matter too much and we ideally can use import std soon, but it was a quick five minute change and will hopefully lead to less confusion.

Agreed, .scripting is counter-effective - it's neither self-explanatory, nor as easy to type for one-off code snippets (the primary use case for the package).

FreeBSD 32-bit is broken at the moment - see braddr/d-tester#70
We need to move forward, so I'm going to merge this PR.
For the record - it passes on Jenkins too:

But two project builds were "aborted" from some unknown, unrelated reason.
