Consider also that this LOC numbers are not lines of code -
they're also lines of comments! D's ddoc encourages writing
considerably more lines of comments than C does.
While I don't know what this specific report used, but comments
are generally factored out of LOC and have their own count.
I usually find the build in unittests to cause more skew since
those are counted as LOC.
