__ctfeWrite is not complex, but I don't see the need for it.
I don't understand your point. Given __ctfeWrite you are able to create a
__ctfeWriteln but you can't do the opposite.
If I have to print something complex, like something tree-shaped, and I have
just __ctfeWriteln, to create the printing I need to first put everything into
a huge string, and print it. If I have __ctfeWrite I am able to write it one
bit at a time.
Not having a compulsive newline was the strongest requirement in my original
enhancement request:

The obligatory newline of pragma(msg) has given me several problems, it's much
less useful because of this.

I understand that you could implement `writeln` in terms of `write`, but
I question its practical value. Why do you need to print a tree at
compile time? pragma(msg) and __ctfeWriteln are mainly for debugging,
and adding a newline is very suitable (e.g. it won't mess up the error
message in the next line).
