Another reason for the D prefix is for bindings. Many bindings will
have package names similar to their C library names - so similar in fact
that the names could overlap if there was nothing to uniquely identify
the D one. And if the names overlapped, it would need to break the
naming convention, which would defeat the whole purpose of having a
naming convention in the first place :)
