I think this is overkill for this purpose. We need something simple

18KB (even less) module which consists mostly of functional templates,
generates nice string mixin and adds part of writef functionality and
can convert nicely formatted strings and args to series of calls to any
function is overkill? ok. who i am to teach people that metaprogramming
is the way to automate boring things...
Meta has a cost with the current compiler. It would be nice if it
didn't, but I have practical concerns.
sure, i won't force anyone to use that, i can't take the pleasure of
writing sink boilerplate calls from people.
I think a few simple functions can suffice for druntime's purposes. We
don't need a kitchen sink function (pun intended).
