Thus far, we've taken the approach of tacking an underscore on the end (so delete would be delete_), but we haven't made any kind of official decision on it. However, if it's reasonable to use a different word entirely, then that's generally better. It's stuff like std.traits.FunctionAttribute which pretty much _has_ to match the keyword where we've appended the underscore (e.g. pure_ and nothrow_). - Jonathan M Davis
