It's to work around a dmd bug that doesn't allow overloads between
templates and non-templates. But I just checked, looks like that bug
may have been fixed since, so now the following overloads would work:
void writefln(string format, A...)(A args) { ... } // current
void writefln(A...)(string format, A args) { ... } // new
