Something recently broke in the dlang.org repo; now multi-word headings are not properly rendered in HTML. See, for example:

	http://dlang.org/phobos-prerelease/std_string#.translate

The heading "SeeAlso" appears as a single word, whereas it should be two words "See Also". This doesn't appear to be a bug in the source code itself, because running dmd -D on the source file directly does not produce this effect (the correct two-word heading is produced). Rather, it seems to be an artifact of some kind of post-processing script in the dlang.org repo (or perhaps in the Phobos makefile) that also introduces anchor tags around the heading.

This needs to be fixed ASAP, as it looks *really* ugly.

That's why there is "See_Also". I agree that looks awkward, so sometimes use "References" instead.

The source code *does* use See_Also. The problem is that Andrei's macros substituted that with SeeAlso. :-P  But no worries, it's all fixed now.
