The problem is you click on "Language Reference" and what you
actually get is a "Language Specification".
For example you click on "Modules" and you get this...

Who is that a reference for? I mean what user needs that
information in that format? Sure if your actually writing a D
compiler yourself that is probably useful... but if your a user?
Honestly, I do think that that's useful as a user, but I'm also
familiar with how a compiler works and tend to look at a language
form a very technical perspective, whereas many others tend to
try and figure out the bare minimum to get stuff done and don't
care much about the details.
