More crucially, it also allows you to print runtime values during 
CTFE. pragma(msg, …) suffices to print compile-time constants. 
Very few people seem to have the correct mental model for the the 
interaction between compile-time features and CTFE, hence I think 
using precise terminology is an important first step.

See also: https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/692 – it's about time 
we finally got __ctfeWrite() merged.
