Would that other language be Walterish or C?

If C, it's not like using the wrong case will suddendly change the semantics 
of the function. And if the worry is other non-phobos functions that might 
have the old C-style name (but different semantics), then Ary's suggestion 
of compatibly-named alases would take care of that.
