eh.. I'm not sure people who like Phobos/writef would like it ;)

Technically this is not an enabler for allowing preventing the 'print 'em 
all' approach:

Stdout.formatln("{1}, {0}", "arg1", "arg2", "arg3");

prints "arg2, arg1"

It's just the approach that arguments must be specified in the format string 
to be printed.  The format of the token identifiers really isn't important 
here, you can use the same philosophy with %s tokens, as you said.
