I do think better name isn't the problem. The problem is about 
consistency, and will persist as long as we don't agree on a guideline 
on that in phobos.

Changing a name just for changing it doesn't worth the cost, unless the 
original name is horribly misleading - rare case. But getting the naming 
convention consistent is of much greater importance, and justify 
breaking code.
