People that use those systems are willing to accept lot of legacy cruft because along with it, they gain backward compatibility with lot of past things. But I think users of a new language as D are less willing to accept similar things, because I think some of them are using D in the first place because it contains less legacy stuff/designs/cruft. On the other hand I agree that changing the name of toStringz is bad, on overall.

As usual designing is a matter of finding a good balance among different tradeoffs :-)
