Forgive me if I'm missing the point, but why should a D feature 
compromise itself for a small subset of C functions?

Kind of ironically the argument of "nobody is going to prefer 
calling printf that way" is similar to the argument of the 
previous printf-compatible proposal having to call an external 
function just to get a string.
