D doesn't tell you what to name things, and neither does any other language.

Languages provide a semantic view of how to model. A library (like phobos) provides prebuilt components that implies a way to model.

Universities should teach how to model in a consistent fashion so that the semantics of the model is easy to grasp for an outsider. Languages and their libraries should support this modeling effort and make it easier.

It is important that a lot of thought has been put into libraries and consistent naming and semantics, because they affect the overall model.

Things like UFCS and certain aspect of phobos is making the model less clear.

D needs to stop expanding and tighten what you have (or even remove features).
