The D docs seem very thorough and complete to me but less
accessible in comparison to, e.g., Perl docs, Php docs, or Ruby

headers of the standard library function specifications (e.g.,:
auto uniform(string boundaries = "[)", T1, T2,
UniformRandomNumberGenerator)(T1 a, T2 b, ref
UniformRandomNumberGenerator urng) if
(isFloatingPoint!(CommonType!(T1, T2)) &&
isUniformRNG!UniformRandomNumberGenerator);
auto // the return type is deduced
uniform // the name of the function
(string boundaries = "[)", T1, T2, URNG) // the set if compile
time parameters
// a string that defaults to "[)" denoting a half open interval
and three named types T1, T2 and URNG
(T1 a, T2 b, ref URNG urng) // the set of runtime parameters a T1
, a T2 and an URNG taken by reference
if (isFloatingPoint!(CommonType!(T1, T2)) && isUniformRNG!RNG);
// a set of constraints to make sure you don't use the wrong
types with it.
