          Issue ID: 17565
           Summary: Rename theAllocator to threadAllocator
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: phobos
          Assignee: nobody@puremagic.com
          Reporter: sludwig@outerproduct.org

The current name doesn't convey the message that this is a thread-local allocator. The relation to processAllocator also isn't quite clear. The private variable that backs theAllocator is already named _threadAllocator and doing the same for the accessor property is arguably the most logical choice.
