I disagree strongly with this.  I remember function names phonetically 
in my head.  I don't want to have to remember which language it came 
from in order to know what the casing should be.  And these function 
names aren't nearly standardized as a qwerty keyboard.  And besides, D 
makes much more radical departures from languages in other areas (which 
is usually a good thing).

Php is already ridiculed for its library having no internal consistency. 
  I don't want the same thing to happen to phobos.
