The best idea I had today: rename D into :D

I hope :D parses in D community.

ps :C reminds me of Retort in the Muppet show: use C to have
your programming experiments blow up on you.
I think that is a great idea. Or at least, make it the official
logo/mascot, or the unofficial name.
It is these kinds of details give programmers a more personal
bond with the language they are coding in.

I am a :D coder
