can we replace the variadic function stuff with the tuple-feature?

Tuples no. Tuples are template based, so if you were to use a different set of types for arguments, it would require a new instance of the function. This can result in some very large EXEs for relatively simple programs. Could you imagine using a separate instance of writefln for every different set of arguments you provided?
I would happily welcome a new concept which is more easily managed though.
