On the other hand:
module tango.io.stdout;
public import tango.io.Stdout;
Not too difficult, hrm? And that can also be a method to access more
Phobos-esque interfaces to Tango functionality -- tango.io.stdout could
include a writefln implementation, a wrapper around Cout or Stdout.
If I wrote such, would the Tango project accept it? (Provided it was
well tested and well written.)
