Hey all y'all,


Here's another nice bicycle shed discussion. During the recent discussion about globals being harmful, Walter told me something that made me think. I said, hey, there are things that are global - look at stdout. He said, well, that's a bad thing. He then argued that it would be better and cleaner to write:

stdout.writeln("Hello, world");
But then stdout is still global :-) However, I do think an "fwritef" routine would be good to have--I tend to write to stderr as often as stdout.

writef recognizes if its first parameter is a stream. you can already
use writef(stderr, ...)

(Not in the upcoming Phobos.)
