Word Count

This program is the D version of the classic wc (wordcount) C program. It serves to demonstrate how to read files, slice arrays, and simple symbol table management with associative arrays. It has two main code paths, one for smaller files that will fit in memory, and one using buffered file I/O for files that are larger.
