Really, printf is the *only* reason to have this backwards compatibility

printf is also unique in that it works when called in class
destructors, which is sometimes needed for debugging (unlike writef
which wants to allocate memory and then throws).
That's an excellent point. But what a really mean is, I wish we could get
rid of the requirement for interoperability between printf and writef.
Of course, we couldn't get rid of printf, it's part of the C runtime!
