You can write your own templated function writeln that does just that 
(the flushing), and that should be fairly easy, so it shouldn't be a 
blocker.

You can also not do that, and forget DDT, but then don't blame DDT 
itself for a quirk in the D standard library. The Eclipse JDT, CDT, 
RustDT, Goclipse and likely many others all have their console work 
fine, because each of their respective languages standard library 
correctly determines that the Eclipse terminal is interactive. If I had 
more time, and knowledge of DMD runtime internals I'd investigate this 
more, but I don't have such time.
