Alternatively, "writefln" could be an exception to the rules, but then the exception would need a better rationale than "it shouldn't look like Java". I mean, if Phobos makes unjustified exceptions to its naming conventions here and there for no good other reason than "it looks good", it breaks the concistency and makes function names less predictable and less readable.
I agree that Phobos' names could use a good overhaul. That would make it easier for growing it too.
Certain names could be kept short and intuitive although they don't fit common conventions.
