I guess it's too late, but from what I gathered from the 
comments, main controversy is about the name but not the utility 
(e.g. Adam's `substr` vs `substring` argument).

`printDelimited` and/or `printDelimitedLn`. Done.

Maybe I'm too spoiled by IDEs, but I really think we should not 
optimize for short names in std library. My (PHP and Java) IDE 
would suggest `printDelimited` after typing "prd" or even "pd".

I write such helper in every project and having it in phobos 
would be nice.

(P.S. these naming and other bikeshedding debates are pretty 
depressing in this otherwise great community)
