How on earth can we violate a style _guide_ that was never discussed, only
one day put up on the web page by Walter as "This is the D style guide",
long after people had written thousands of lines of code in other styles?
And the fact that it says itself that is a guide only, not a requirement,
to boot?

The D style guide is mostly tuned towards single level hierarchies, and free
function API's, something being (IMO) rather too little in a multi paradigm
language like D.

Tango's style guide tries to take into account those things that are
relevant for a complete, consistent and extensible library design, and most
class names and methods are subject to discussions before decided upon.
