As you know, I tried to write some guidelines[1] for naming things in D.
Those guidelines looks well at first glance, but then you look at Phobos
and you see that half of it use some arbitrary naming rules. Take
"writefln" for instance: following my guidelines (as they are currently
written) it should be renamed to something like "writeFormattedLine".

I think naming guidelines aren't a bad thing, but they can be taken too
far. We use an automated tool at work to check code and today I was
forced to change the name of some classes because they ended in "Queue"
or "Dictionary" and "fix the spelling" of "Http" because it thought it
was Hungarian notation.
