Nice. I just wonder what others think.
I'd like to start a poll

In general are those polls useful? I mean there where some
discussions in the last time where a poll may help. git vs. hg. 80 vs.
90 characters per line. If all arguments are on the table it can be
useful to have an opinion poll to finally settle the discussion.

It may even be that I'm totally wrong here. But I think the module
naming needs to be done very careful. It's what a D newcomer needs to
grasp as easy as possible. Am I too picky? Somehow I care (too?) much
about names.
