Then let me ask you/them this:  Would you prefer it was 
implemented as a module-level @property function that returns a 
singleton class instance instead?  In other words, would you have 
the same API with slightly worse performance and more complicated 
implementation, *just* for the sake of a strict naming convention?

Note that 'environment' (with that name) was added to std.process 
years ago.  As Jesse mentioned, the fact that it was a class was 
just hidden from documentation with an alias.  Unfortunately, 
this prevented proper documentation of its members, so changed it.
