   True, but if you know my coding style - this is not it. And it is   
   acknowledged as such in the source:

   So it's not uncommon to define it like this. Apart from that - "D2/" is   
   not a standardized word - so it can mean anything. Although I do agree   
   with you that your definition is the most likely one.
