Then why switch langauges at all?

When you move to a different language you expect that language is going to 
have its own set of conventions. And even more than that, you also expect it 
to at least be internally-consistent, not a grab-bag of different styles. 
Are they really supposed to remember "Oh, oh, this func comes from this 
language, so it's capitalized this way, and that one comes from that 
language so it's capitalized that way..."

Not only that, but D has far, far bigger, more significant differences from 
Ruby/Python/JS/etc than the capitalization of a few functions. If people are 
going to come over and get used to *those* changes, then using toLower 
instead of tolower is going to be a downright triviality for them. Your cart 
is before your horse.
