This is enforced in some languages, and I like it. It'd be confusing if they didn't match when I would go to look for something.

I think it would be a good idea for D to standardise this. Not only so that the compiler can traverse and compile but for all dev tools (static analysers, package managers, etc). Standardisation makes it easier to create toolchains, which I believe are essential for the growth of any language use.
