That's just because the underlying C function handles the case. 
But the D function makes no promises about that: 
std.file.remove's documentation says "removes the file", leaving 
what it does to directories undefined.

Interestingly, the Linux kernel *does* make the distinction: the 
C remove function on Linux does a test then calls unlink or rmdir 
based on if it is a directory or not. But it didn't always do 
that.

But what you have is undefined behavior - the function is only 
guaranteed to work on files, and does not specify if it will work 
or be an error on directories.
