Personally, I'd just look at the source code then, but the dlang.org build
does seem to have a pdf target that it says "Generates the D specification
as a PDF." So, presumably, it's possible to create a pdf of at least the
language spec, though I don't know if it includes the Phobos docs like the
html build does. I've never used it, so I don't know exactly what it does,
and I don't know if the result is built and provided anywhere.

However, if you download the release as a zip file (or xz or whatever), it
includes an html directory that has all of the documentation. So, you should
be able read that in your browser.

I used CUPS to print as pdf individual pages from the standard 
library. I want to get all the basic information I need easily at 
hand.
I used unpredictableSeed in my code.  It seems to be a property 
of something somewhere.
I hope it is thread safe.  Who knows?  I guess I'll look at the 
source code like you say to try to understand.
The plan is to use D as a low level programming language as much 
as possible.  In particular to maintain the ability to translate 
the code to other languages as easily as possible.
I wonder if there is an integer bit rotate instruction in D 
somewhere? I see the dmd complier doesn't convert say  s3=(s3 << 
45) | (s3 >>> 19); into a rotate instruction like gcc would.  
Maybe I need to find some optimizer settings for dmd.

If really want good optimization, then use ldc. dmd does a decent job, but
ldc is much better. dmd compiles very quickly, so it's likely to be better
for development, but if you want every ounce of performance, it's a poor
choice.

The downloaded tarball comes with the full html documentation. Just open 
it from the file. That's what I've done (I generally am online to 
program, but sometimes, like when I'm on a plane, I want to have offline 
doc access).
