Has anybody done anything to fix this? If not, then IMO, it's simply invalid.

I think this is "just" an OS output issue: When printing a null character to
console, the console seizes to print for the current line.

For example, on windows,
writeln("test\0gone");
prints
test

Yet
writeln("test\0gone\n");
prints
test gone


and
writeln("test\0gon", 'e');
prints
test gone

Weird, right?

So I decided to simply print to file, and check what is actually being *passed*
to the stream (NOT what the console prints). Sure enough, everything is
correctly placed in the stream, null and all.

Conclusion => Output stream is the one to blame; D passes everything correctly
to the stream.

Gonna see how this behaves on linux next.
