Having to constantly explain that "_t" means type, that "size" does not

name is mindless?
No, because there is a vast body of work that uses size_t and a vast body
of programmers who know what it is and are totally used to it.
And there's a vast body who don't.
And there's a vast body who are used to C++, so let's just abandon D and
make it an implementation of C++ instead.
I would agree that D is a complete waste of time if all it consisted of was
renaming things.
