There is some movement towards making the DMD frontend available as a library, which is great. A few pull request for this have already been merged. With this in mind I thought it would be a good idea to cleanup and standardize some of the symbol names in the source code. I’m mostly thinking about making sure that the standard D naming conventions are followed, i.e. isscope -> isScope. Local variables would not need to be included (unless we want to) since those are not part of the API. I would recommend including parameter names, even though that is not part of the API, it would still show up in any generated documentation.

I think we should take the opportunity to do this before we get any more users. As far as I know there are only two users: LDC and GDC. If we wait with this for later it will make it more complicated if we have a stable API to maintain backwards compatibility with.

Just to be clear, I’m willing to do pull requests for this.

Thoughts?
