It was decided previously that containers in std.container would specifically be named based on the type of data structure that they are rather than what they're used for. Hence why the newest container to std.container is called RedBlackTree. If you want to call it TreeSet or something similar, then all you have to do is alias it. So, it's easy to get names based on usage if that's what you want, but that's not the naming scheme that std.container is using. - Jonathan M Davis
