The best example in D is the deprection of indexOf. Now you
have to call countUntil. But if I have to choose between the

std.algorithm.indexOf was deprecated, not std.string.indexOf, so
you can still use it of course and it still gives you the byte
(array-access) index of the supplied parameter. And countUntil
counts elements until it finds the supplied parameter. I think
this is logical and useful and easy to understand.
