I wonder if the addition of another function for printing will confuse
some new users.
In my experience:
* two names for the same exact thing => annoyance (not only in D, e.g.
dual use of "class" and "typename" in C++)
* two different names that do the same thing in slightly different
without a distinction, interchangeable ways => confusion and annoyance
(e.g. "class" vs "struct" in C++)
* two names that do the same thing, one poorly and one better =>
confusion (e.g. "stringstream" vs. "strstream", vector<bool> vs
vector_bool in C++)
* two names that do two similar, but distinct things => "oh ok" (e.g.
"map" vs. "multimap").
So I think we're safe.
