No. If you want to know what's there, you need to look at the documentation. 
For the most part, the module names are reasonbly well named after what they 
do, so you should be able to figure out what module contains the functionality 
you're looking for without too much difficulty. As for this case, Path-related 
stuff goes in std.path, stuff that operates on a file as a whole is in std.file, 
and stuff that involves more general I/O (including reading a file in pieces) is 
in std.stdio.
