If it's about having a concise syntax then you can do:

---
import std.stdio;

void main()
{
     log!false("meep ! ");
     log!true("meep meep !");
}

static void log(bool newline = true)(string text)
{
     alias print = (a) => newline ? writeln(a) : write(a);
     print(text);
}
---

although this is like static if {} () else {}
