"The C Programming Language", Ritchie et al, BSTJ V57, No. 6, Part 2, 1978,
page 2019:

	"...C would probably have to be left as is, and a
	totally now language developed. We leave it to the
	reader to speculate whether it should be called
	D or P." (very last sentence in the article.)

For your amusement.
