A variadic C function:
extern(C) void someFormatting(wchar_t* format, ...)

But I get some unexpected results.. wchar_t is defined as dchar on linux  
and wchar on windows, but it seems to only work with utf8..
Sending in wchar or dchar prints only the first characted as I guess it  
just see \0 at the next.
I'll have to look at the original source in case it has some strange  
typedefs.
