dpl page.
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_).

I agree, but this case it's not a completely different word, it's a
shorting of the word.
I just like that there should be something more official when these
things pop up.
