Yop. And anyway those legacy names are not all the same in C, 
Javascript, Python, Ruby, etc.. One has to be chosen or created for D, 
why not follow a guideline for the standard D name?
(I really cannot (under)stand this general politic of sticking at wrong 
design choices from the past for generations and generations --even in 
brand new languages. How do improvements happen in other fields than 
programming? One day or the other, one needs to throw away old (mental) 
garbage.)
