Hey guys,
I know this is a bit late given the deprecation of D1 and all,
but why did we name the D2 compiler dmd instead of dmd2?
It's rather annoyed me when trying to work with multiple D
projects of mixed kind in the same environment. Using the same
compiler name for two different programming languages seems
like a Bad Idea.

I suspect the reason is because the two languages aren't really
meant to co-exist together. D2 and D1 are just different versions
of D. It's like C++11 and C++03, it's *not* like C++ and C, which
are different languages.
