Very good.

D has a static type system, unlike Python/Ruby/etc but D printing 
functions use dynamic typing for format strings. This is just 
wrong.

There is a template bloat problem, it's not a big problem, but 
I'd like some way to use template arguments that are only used to 
run compile-time functions to test them, and then leave zero 
template bloat behind :-) This was one of the purposes of a "enum 
precondition".
