std.paralellogrithm ;-)
The module name I like more so far is the simple "parallel_algorithm".
But I don't mind the "p" prefix for the parallel function names.
Bye,

It is also possible to have both "p" prefix and identical names. The latter
would be mere aliases and would be activated by a version declaration or
similar. I think both possibilities have their merits, so letting the user
choose would be an option.
parallel_algorithm is to the point, but not very concise. I do not think we
can do very much better.
That doesn't work. As soon as the non-p versions exist, you have name clashes.
So, if the point of starting the function names with p is to avoid name
clashes, then you've gained nothing. Besides, we generally try to avoid
aliases like that in Phobos. Such a scheme would never be accepted.
I don't foresee a simple solution to the 'p' vs. non-'p' problem. It's a
complete mess.
Indeed it is widely conjectured that p!=np... :o)
