Phobos can have whatever it has. That wasn't my point.

Because topic is template bloat, err... statistics :) And I'm 
well at fault for straying.
I was speaking figuratively. A *good* writeln need not go to C - 
that was my retort to bringing up puts in 2020. Not *the* 
writeln, *a* writeln. At the very least it shouldn't be the 
default. My point is we should be striving for better, not that 
there's anything wrong with puts or C.
