Rationale:

std.path.setExt is the lazy (range-based) version of 
std.path.setExtension, thus the only difference in the name is 
that one is abbreviated, and the other is not. As there is no 
consistent convention that abbreviated names are lazy, it is not 
memorable which function is which.

I presented a case in my earlier thread (point 6):

Proposed new name: withExtension
