I closed the PR as too controversial. -- Andrei

I guess it's too late, but from what I gathered from the comments, main controversy is about the name but not the utility (e.g. Adam's `substr` vs `substring` argument).

`printDelimited` and/or `printDelimitedLn`. Done.

Maybe I'm too spoiled by IDEs, but I really think we should not optimize for short names in std library. My (PHP and Java) IDE would suggest `printDelimited` after typing "prd" or even "pd".

I write such helper in every project and having it in phobos would be nice.

(P.S. these naming and other bikeshedding debates are pretty depressing in this otherwise great community)
