I can't imagine it would in any significant way. Certainly not if it's 
named "dump", anyway.

I see no non-trivial cost.

I've been using a homemade equivalent of it for years, and I can speak 
from experience that it's definitely a big help. Not only that, but the 
only two reasons I've ever had for NOT using it are fixed by this proposal:

- Can now be done without bulky "mixin(...)" at the usage site.

- Built into Phobos so never a need, in any project, to [temporarily or 
otherwise] tie in a new dependency just for a temporary debugging aid.

I'm hugely in favor of this. Me want.
