We shouldn't even need that to get some kind of readln() function.  Make 
it simple, it shouldn't need arguments (overload though for the fancy 
stuff) just read a line from the console.

Later on if we want fromString, so we can do more fancy formatted input 
and stuff, ok, but for now I am kinda dissappointed with the /complete/ 
lack of console input function in phobos (disregarding std.c, because 
that's c not d and a pain to use IMO).

I do miss a cheap/easy way to grab input like in C# w/ Console.ReadLine().
