For the sake of shorter URLs, less typing, and consistent 
branding, let's move!

Moving should be painless, and everything will redirect to the 
new location. We only have to make sure our GitHub API clients 
support HTTP redirects.

Any change to anything breaks something, but I'm generally in 
favour of this.

Awesome.

Using dlang instead of D-Programming-Language honestly looks a 
lot more... professional (not the right word, but close) and 
modern to me. From a branding perspective, I'd definitely like to 
see D-Programming-Language used less in favour of dlang when 
possible.

And admittedly, typing out git clone 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/{dmd,druntime,phobos} 
every time I set up a new install got annoying. :P
