Just about nobody understands (web) searching with "'s.

Of course the advanced (web) searcher knows that the use of 
"'s are often indispensible and dammed if you don't.

It was a boon when Google started to recognize non alpha characters such 
as '+' so it is now easy to search for C++ material.

So here's an idea, call D2 D++.  :-)
