In the same place I have written good answers to your problems.
There's no technical reason why writef should be slower than printf, adding
language features to compensate is the wrong way to fix that.
Similarly, template bloat is a language implementation issue that needs
eventually to be addressed. Having a kludgy language feature that only addresses
printf is the wrong fix.
As for the rest, having specific compiler support for printf makes for sad
sister support for anything else.
