I agree. Does anyone use extern(Pascal)? It's piece of old 
history, and now it's more discouraging than useful, because it 
seems like the way to link D program with Pascal code, but today 
there are pascal compilers with incompatible mangling (just like 
C++ ones). For example, extern(Pascal) will not work with 
FreePascal as I recall.

And yes, there is extern(System) already for described purpose. 
It would be just weird to allow extern(Windows) work on 
non-Windows systems (just because of the name). Even if it can be 
useful by some reason, it needs to have another name 
(extern(Microsoft) or something).
