From what I can see without testing it, very nice work, thanks!
More a little surprise than anything serious though, why did
you choose to go with "println" instead of "writeln" and such?
I find it more confusing than anything given phobos choice.
Thanks!
There are a couple reasons for using print/println/etc. over
write/writeln/etc.:
1. A module-level definition of write(Stream s, ...) would clash
with the stream's definition of write(...).
2. Do we mean text-serialization or byte-for-byte output when we
say write()? With print(), it's clear that we want the arguments
to be converted to a text representation and have that written
that to the stream. With write(), it's clear we're writing out
the binary representation to the stream.
