One *could* argue the same thing about the introduced Posix identifier,
versus the already established Unix so I'm not sure it's entirelly fair
to bash DMD doing the same thing as Tango had already done before it...

Back in the day it made sense to have the "Windows" and "Unix" versions,
and then the specific linux/darwin/freebsd/cygwin/solaris/skyos/etc OS.
If starting over, then I suppose Posix and OSX and FreeBSD "work" too.
