Why can't string concatenation automatically try to convert the arguments? Is there any reason this is bad behavior?
You'd be liable to write buggy stuff like appending the wrong kind of array since the auto conversion was wrong.
How bout then having writeln parse the arguments as a string(take an alias or something first) and then automatically convert them?
writeln already knows how to convert. There's also a std.conv.text function that returns the string instead of printing it.
