Description John Chapman 2009-08-04 00:40:10 UTC 
Most function names in Phobos use camel casing, but std.string seems to be a mix of all lowercase and camel case. Here's a list of offending functions and their more correct names.

tolower -> toLower
tolowerInPlace -> toLowerInPlace
toupper -> toUpper
toupperInPlace -> toUpperInPlace
iswhite -> isWhite
newline -> newLine
hexdigits -> hexDigits
capwords -> capWords
splitlines -> splitLines
expandtabs -> expandTabs
maketrans -> makeTrans
removechars -> removeChars

thanks
Comment 2 Andrei Alexandrescu 2009-08-28 10:51:52 UTC 
This makes sense but the names as chosen reflect existing Python and Ruby APIs. I'm not sure how to proceed about this. Thoughts?
