A good `writeln` would not call into C  at all. Nor would it copy 
its arguments like four times (therefore potentially not printing 
what it was given). But Phobos' `writeln` is actually a 
`encumber_you_with_dependencies_and_thread_safety_because_it_must_be_good_for_you_roundabout_writeln`. So it's OK, we're only missing a plain `writeln`.
