Sorry, this isn't going to happen :) @schveiguy is much better than
@StevenSchveighoffer. Some of us are not so short-name-blessed. I actually don't
mind if people call me schveiguy!
At least there is a connection between the two names.
Yes, I know some of you are very attached to your github handles. I'm not
demanding anyone
change, I just suggest it is to their advantage to. There are 123 contributors
just to DMD,
my brain is not going to remember everyone's handle vs name vs face.

Note the paucity of names and faces.
It avoids when people who post as "Fred" on the newsgroup submit PRs as
"HorseWrangler" and get annoyed when I don't realize they are the same
person, and then I overlook them at the conference because I have no
idea what they look like.
Please don't make me learn @dicebot's real name :)
Even the Sociomantic people at Dconf tended to call him Dicebot, so no worries
there!
