Some code I am porting from C++ to D makes use of ANSI escape 
codes to go up a line and overwrite what was there, as well as 
change colours. This work fine in the C++ code but fails in the 
D code. The codes are definitely all the same, the only 
difference is in the writing functions.

Is this problem to be expected or should it work?

Hi Russel,

It seems to work for me with a dumb example:

```
import std.stdio;

void main()
{
  writefln("stdout: %s", "Edit source/app.d to start your 
project.");
  stderr.writefln("stderr: %s", "Edit source/app.d to 
start your project.");
  stderr.writefln("stderr: %s", "Edit source/app.d to 
start your project.");

  stderr.writefln("%s", "");
}
```
Before copy/paste take into account that in sequences like "[7m", 
etc... there's a hidden ESC char at the beginning, something 
like: "\033[7m", and I can't see it in the preview of my posting.
