I think currently there is no other way. Despite it's something 
I'd like a lot.

Someday I'd like a function like this in Phobos, that verifies 
the formatting string at compile-time:

ctwritefln!"%d %s"(5, "hello");

Such function can be written with just a very light wrapper 
around a normal writefln (and later to something more optimized). 
This means that the actual template bloat can be minimized a lot, 
but not fully removed.
