In your example code you have ...

	// One wishes the .toString was unnecessary...
	writefln("A current of ",i.toString);
	writefln("through a voltage of ",v.toString);
	writefln("requires a resistance of ",r.toString);
	writefln("and produces ",w.toString," of heat.");
	writefln("Total energy used in ",ti.toString," is ",e.toString);


but could you not also use ...

	writefln("A current of %s",i);
	writefln("through a voltage of %s",v);
	writefln("requires a resistance of %s",r);
	writefln("and produces %s of heat.",w);
	writefln("Total energy used in %s is %s",ti,e);
