Thank you for bringing that good example. Forbidding arbitrary
extensions for D code, and enforcing a common standard name helps
avoid mistakes like those ".c" extensions in the C++ sources,
that numerous persons keep criticizing. The advantages of a
standard suffix for D code are way larger than the disadvantages.
