Eclipse's "Workspaces" (Was: What you use D for?)

MSVC used the term "workspace" to represent what was
being created and in this context is probably a bad
choice of word. 

In more recent versions of MSVC this wording has been
improved since the name workspace has been replaced by 
solution and the word project replaced by item.

So for example any solution (ie the complete package
being built) can be made up on many items (exes, dll's, 
database, help files, image files, installers etc).

In this context there is definitely a need for multiple 
workspaces/solutions per user.
