You completely missed the point, I think, bearophile. D is not C.

It is an important C bug. No doubt about that. And it's such a common, 
hard to diagnose bug that they have put a massive hack into the compiler 
to detect it. Make no mistake, that's what it is: it's a hack. A really 
ugly one.

It is not an important D bug. writef doesn't have the problems that 
printf does. The ugly hack is not justified.
