I agree with this reasoning for having them. However, I don't think it means we shouldn't D-ify or Phobos-ify them, at least as far as capitalization conventions.
I also object to rather pointlessly annoying people wanting to move their code from D1 to D2 by renaming everything. Endlessly renaming things searching for the perfect name gives the illusion of progress, whereas time would be better spent on improving the documentation, unittests, performance, etc.
Naming of things isn't nearly as critical an issue in D as it is in, say, C, because of the excellent antihijacking support in D's module system.
Some name changes have turned out to be a big win, like "invariant" => "immutable". But I don't think that implies open season for wholesale renaming of swaths of functions.
