We should have chosen a planet with more moons, to be forward-compatible
- for what happens when D3 (or 128-bit, to stay more on topic) arrives?

There was a Deimos project for D already, available on
http://dsource.org/projects/deimos. It is however abandoned, so one could
conceivably take their name.

Now, the main problem is that we are currently talking only about what
the 64-bit version of the library should be called, and calling that
Deimos and the 32-bit Phobos is bound to confuse people.
