Hardly. The name's just as meaningless on its own. It may be
easier for us Germans to remember the spelling, but even we have
to memorize that tz, as schwarz (black) is more common a
D has documented unittests (they appear in the docs as if part
of the Examples section). The only excuses for example code in
Phobos to be untested are supposed to be that it is an
incomplete fragment or that it is old code from before we had
the feature.

If the function inputs are trivial (ie. takes an integer or
basic
string) then this isn't an issue. But for functions taking
complex
inputs it can be a bit baffling for someone new to the language.

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.

Yes the output is awful, but that does not imply some kind of
concepts is needed to make the documentation easier to
understand. And Python's startsWith makes no use of a protocol.
