[Random Thought] std::sync::mpsc in a separate library?

[crlf0710]

I know it is already stable. Moving it would break things.

However, as it seemed reasonable to keep crates like rand shipped alone, it seems mpsc should be a crate of its own too?

I wonder if there’s other considerations?

I admit that it is the unstable macro select! (which seems really odd in the list of macros exported by libstd, maybe a macro with that name is something that should be exported by futures-rs!) that actually makes me think it bad there…

Pretty soon we could export select! using the new macro naming mechanism, which allows one to use macros just like other things. Would that address your concern?

@nikomatsakis Yeah, that would be great.
