The name and original implementation of writefln are Walter's and
predate my tenure with D. I just defined write() and writeln().
write/writeln are very useful to avoid the silly bugs caused by the possible of a %
inside the first string given to writefln. But write/writeln have still a quite large
amount of holes/limits (*) that deserve (or must, I'd say) to be filled/fixed. I have
named put/putr (final "r" stands for return) my pair of fixed ones (fixed, but
not perfect, they have few bug still), a shorter name to type, and you can't write
writenl by mistake as I've done for a couple months.
(*) If you want I can list few pages of such problems/limits/bugs. I have not
done this already because not a single person here has shown some interest in
fixing the writef/writefln/write/writeln functions so far.
It would be great if you brought them in the open!
