It's not so much a matter of "leaks" - rather, much of DMD, 
D-runtime, and Phobos pre-date the style rules, and so never 
attempted to follow them in the first place.

Indeed, some of the rules we have now were chosen simply by 
surveying the existing eclectic code base to determine which 
conventions were *most common* - in some cases by slim margins...
