I program ONLY embedded systems in D and I very much dislike the 
idea of introducing a new name.  There should be only one D , but 
there's no reason features couldn't be enabled/disabled with 
compiler switches (-fno-exceptions, -fno-rtti)

There's no reason to aggregate compiler switches into a single 
name.  I f users want no exceptions, no gc, no objects, etc... 
then they should add -fno-exceptions, -fno-gc, -fno-objects, 
etc... to their compiler flags.

Please, I beg you! No new names. Please don't fragment the 
language.  Just make it a little more modular.
