     Unformatted layout, with commas inserted between args.
     Currently supports a maximum of 24 arguments
     print() with no arguments always flushes the stream.

**********************************************************************/
typeof(Stdout) print (...) {
     static  char[] slice =  "{}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, "
                          "{}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, "
                          "{}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, {}, ";

     assert (_arguments.length <= slice.length/4, "Print :: too many 
arguments");

     if (_arguments.length is 0)
         Stdout.flush;
     else
         Stdout.layout()(&Stdout.sink, _arguments, _argptr, slice[0 .. 
_arguments.length * 4 - 2]);

     return Stdout;
}


You could do something like:
if (_arguments.length < 24) {
    // insert your code
} else {
    foreach (i, arg; _arguments) {
       char[] fmt = (i + 1 == _arguments.length) ? "{0}" : "{0}, ";
       Stdout.layout()(&Stdout.sink, [arg], _argptr, fmt);
       _argptr += arg.tsize();
    }
}
