          Issue ID: 20269
           Summary: Inconsistencies between `Token.toChar` and various
                    error messages
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd

          Reporter: desisma heidel.beer

`Token.toChar()` (defined in module `dmd.tokens`) differs from various other
strings found in the frontend (especially thinking of error messages).

For example: `Token.toChar(TOK.variable)` returns `"var"`, while in several
other places the frontend uses the term `variable` instead.

All this should soon or later get unified. I don't think there's a valid reason
to keep those inconsistencies.
