No need to rewrite libc, just link against it and use whatever
is needed.
I have assumed we are going the way that libc is not a
requirement. If libc is required we must build a full multilib
set and possibly include them in binary releases.
This is a question that we can discuss.
It is a matter of taste if it is a c like printf function or a
formatter class. Or both if we like. Only the used ones are
picked from the library.
You could implement more high level application code like a
formatting library as dub package.
A separate package is a good idea for advanced things.
