I believe more people would associate "var" with modern languages like 
JavaScript and C# which use it in the same fashion as D does with 
"auto".Changing to "var" would be more intuitive to a large group of people.
People with a long History of C/C++ are likely to be new to the concept 
of dynamic typing anyway so they might as well learn a new keyword.
But I agree with you that Pascal's way of "var" meaning "call by 
reference" is equally unintuitve.
