I think "foo.writeln;" is acceptable. You just need to get a

The whole dot-notation for pipelining is semantically flawed en
relies on knowing what names stand for rather than more
universal symbols with known interpretations. It has been
(ab)used quite a bit in OO-libraries for other languages, for
chaining, which can be rather confusing when you use many
libraries.
Dedicated pipeline operators look much better
("input->process->output"). Add dataflow with multiple paths
and high level optimization, then you have something.
I kind of agree with this one. Range based pipeline has
established rather late as core D idiom but in general it is
distinct enough to warrant own syntax.
