ldc.snap is good.

@zoujiaqing, thanks for your interest in the snap package.

The 2 is there for a reason: snap packages will 'namespace' any apps they expose that don't match the package name. This is why in the current snap package, the ldmd2, ldc-profdata and ldc-prune-cache commands are all exposed as, respectively, ldc2.ldmd2, ldc2.ldc-profdata and ldc2.ldc-prune-cache.

So, if the package were named just ldc, the ldc2 command would instead be ldc.ldc2. I decided that was not a very nice situation to have to deal with (especially since many programs check if ldc2 is the compiler by examining its name), so I named the package ldc2.

Can I ask you the favour of confirming whether the snap package works for you? Are you able to successfully install it and compile programs with it?

Closing, since the name of the package is not going to be changed.
