Wait, really?  This statement has no place in a programming language  
decision IMO.  Nobody is going to start using D because it has a function  
*named* duck.

Let's change writef to shazam!  Let's call File BitLocker!  And 'to'  
really should be called transformationVehicle!

If you want to help market D, come up with some better logos, help  
redesign the web site, and maybe write a book (oh wait, you already did  
that :)
