Is there any practical use of having identically named .d and

Same as in C/C++. This allows you to have a header file if you
want to distribute a closed source library.
I know, but I have never seen a D project that would generate
headers into the source directory. C++ requires headers for
sharing declarations with other translation units in the project,
even if the headers are not intended for distribution. That is
why having headers alongside implementations is a common case
there. D doesn't require that.
Anyway, that's a minor concern. Thank you.
