Looked also in the source code to find out that startsWith is
locale sensitive, something ignored in phobos.
Why would I need a locale for startsWith? Please file a bug, if
that's actually needed for unicode strings.
Because in German, "Köln" can start with "Kö", but also with
"Koe" and "K\u0308o" ?
Regarding the scscscshghshshshhswarzThing, here we discuss the
readability and accessibility of the documentation, not the power
of the library. Every other language will use a variation of
"sortBy" instead of the scscshwcwscThing. I'm happy that D has in
the default lib functions like levenshteinDistance, but this will
not attract the average or "just starting to learn" developer. On
the contrary, sorting correctly some names is a more common task
than calculating the Levenshtein distance, but there is no
function for it in phobos.
