4. some terms need exposition, like: "Implements the homonym function present in various programming languages of functional flavor." I have no idea what that means. Googling "homonym function" doesn't produce anything that looks relevant. A link to an entry in http://dlang.org/glossary.html would be good.

"Homonym" is just a fancy way of saying "with the same name". But I agree:
 1) The docs should avoid overly fancy language.
2) Analogies to other languages should never be the primary means of explanation.
