Yes those descriptions below are much better. I guess I glossed over
them. I focused too much on the cheat sheet, because I assumed the cheat

sure what the cheat sheet really is providing...
The cheat sheet comes from the older style documentation which has all
functions on one page and no generated listing of them. The cheat sheet
provides a quick overview there, so that you don't have to scroll so
much to find something.
For example, see the same page in the older style:
https://dlang.org/phobos/std_algorithm_comparison.html
In the newer style documentation, the cheat sheets don't really make
sense. We're in the process of figuring out what to do about it.
I mean if it was an example of common uses of the function that would be
one thing. But I guess I'm not sure what information one is supposed to
get from the 'cheat' sheet.
Maybe it's just a case of bad documentation. Do you think that all
descriptions in the the cheat sheet are bad, or are some acceptable? For
example, `either`'s description is this:
Return first parameter p that passes an if (p) test, e.g. either(0, 42,
43) returns 42.
Is that good/bad/acceptable?
