Why is array.reverse a property and not a method?

[bearophile]

Andrei Alexandrescu:

> std.conv -> std.conversion

OK.


> std.stdio -> std.io

OK.


> put(R, E) -> putNext(R, E)

Uhm. I don't like this a lot.


> BidirectionalRange -> DoublyEndedRange

Acceptable.


More suggestions:
std.cover => std.coverage
Rationale: this module is not used very often, so by Zipf law you can use the full word.

std.typecons => std.records (that contains Record/record)
std.typetuple => std.tuples (that contains Tuple)
Rationale: a "typetuple" can contain values too, and structs have a tupleof method, not a typetupleof method.

std.concurrency/std.thread => std.concurrency
std.metastrings/std.traits => std.meta

std.bitmanip => std.bits ?
Rationale: 'bitmanip' is not a nice name.

std.date/std.gregorian => std.time ?
std.range => std.ranges ?

std.regex/std.regexp => std.re  (as in Python) ?
Rationale: in certain kinds of modules this is used often, but 'regex' name too is acceptable.
