I guess I don't know how better to put it: I wanted to know what 
are the things that can be named in a D program.

Firstly it is not about replicating something from the C manual. 
A fundamental aspect of any programming language is what things 
you can give a name to, and then the scope, and lifetime of named 
objects.

A module has a name, so looking at var declarations alone in not 
sufficient.

But I get it: there is no such list.
