betterC if I recall/inferred was somewhat a marketing term for 
the flag. '-no-runtime' is essentially what it does and indeed 
probably a better name.

It took me a while as to keep straight what D was, betterC, and 
importC when I got active with D. It's on my toso list to make a 
video (I haven't covered betterC yet) on YouTube to help 
straighten this out for other newcomers.

I suspect most folks still start with D and Phobos when learning, 
and then otherwise find betterC when they want to do more 
embedded/OS/bare metal things.
