standardization of D

[Clay Smith]

I'm just a hobbyer, but I care about the D v1.0 version switch. 

This switch makes it so any compiler after version 1.0 can compile my programs, and anyone who writes a D 1.0 compatible compiler can also compile my programs. D 1.0 is a nice 'target' that doesn't move. To be able to ever stabilize, a language needs such a target or it will forever be left for the bleeding edgers.
