This too works, even if it looks a bit strange:

void main() {
  return 1
}

In some situations you can also just avoid using formatting:
writef("The result is ", r0, " after ", n, " iterations.");

But you have to be careful that the first string doesn't contain % for other purposes. To avoid that D 2.x has write/writeln (or you can use my better put/putr functions).

(I think I now know enough of D that I may be able to start writing a "D best practices" web page).
