Convenient debug printing

Rust just added a standard macro `dbg` for debug printing
https://blog.rust-lang.org/2019/01/17/Rust-1.32.0.html#the-dbg-macro
What's the closest match for this macro we can get with D?
I have put together a similar solution at
https://github.com/nordlow/phobos-next/blob/master/src/dbgio.d#L51
used as
int x = 42;
dbg("x: ", x);
printing
dbgio.d:68: Info: x: 42
but it only works with a cumbersome writeln-syntax.
I also have
https://github.com/nordlow/phobos-next/blob/master/src/dbgio.d#L12
copied from Wilzbach's effort and used as
int x = 42;
int[] y = [42, 43];
mixin dump!("x", "y");
printing
dbgio.d:17: Info: x: 42, y: [42, 43]
but, of course, cumbersome in another syntactic way.
Is this as good as it gets in D with regards to syntactic
sugarness?
