I agree that `Yes` and `No` are bad names.

But the problem with `true` and `false` is that it's difficult to 
know the meaning at the call site. That can be solved with a 
custom enum for each function, that allows for better names. Or 
with named arguments (which D doesn't support yet). But unless 
you're using Swift or Objective-C, there's nothing that force you 
do use named arguments on the call site.
