so I put the author in there as "D community team effort" because 
it was your implementation of the tuple thing that changed my 
mind on interpolation being of any value to D at all, and IIRC 
you based that implementation on someone else's initial write up. 
And then of course in this thread, Steven changed my mind away 
from another idea and toward the core of what was here, and 
others too for a bunch of input.

And yes, even Walter's DIP introducing the format string thing is 
actually a really solid idea too - the printf compatibility is 
legit cool just because we *can*, and this will also aid 
compatibility with things like gnu getline among others, and the 
format string wrapper enables `ref` parameters, which I'm still a 
little iffy on... but that's something none of my previous 
encapsulation ideas would have been able to do. This is really a 
very small tweak from what he had.

So it is not *my* proposal. It is *our* proposal. We should all 
share in the credit...

...and all unite on insisting that leadership take our voices 
seriously.
