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.
He certainly didn't factor out comments for all languages,
meaning that he didn't do it at all.
