See https://dlang.org/dstyle.html#naming_acronyms
Acronyms
When acronyms are used in symbol names, all letters in the
acronym should have the same case. So, if the first letter in the
acronym is lowercase, then all of the letters in the acronym are
lowercase, and if the first letter in the acronym is uppercase,
then all of the letters in the acronym are uppercase.
This clearly states it should be „getURI“, because the „U“ needs
to be a capital letter because of camelCase
