Hope this helps.

And yes, the documentation should use some improvement. A lot of
improvement even. :P  Please feel free to submit a pull request, or at
least file a bug against the docs.

Well, that solves it for me ;)

I think the documentation could use more code samples, and a smarter 
table of contents. e.g. http://dlang.org/phobos/std_stdio.html clicking 
on the "read" keyword redirects to... enum LockType.read

There's no mention about reading in the struct File; example

ugh :/
