`Token.toChar()` (defined in module `dmd.tokens`) differs from various other strings found in the frontend (especially thinking of error messages). For example: `Token.toChar(TOK.variable)` returns `"var"`, while in several other places the frontend uses the term `variable` instead. All this should soon or later get unified. I don't think there's a valid reason to keep those inconsistencies.
