Name related stuff are beneficial when you learn. Once you 
remember the new name, it is way less beneficial.

std.uni seems to have confused a lot of people when they learn. 
The thing is that people that already use std.uni will have their 
code broken and do not get something out of it.

Same goes for command line.

Change is difficult to lead when the one who pay for it isn't the 
one who benefit from it.

As a side note, I still go back to PHP doc for many function I 
use for years, because order of argument is completely random. 
Some part of phobos feel the same.
