There are suggestions to add this method to Object:
void writeTo(void delegate(const(char)[]) sink, string format = null);
I think const void toString(scope void delegate(const(char)[]) sink,
string format = null); is more better than that, even if it is
different from DIP9.
That is already used in std.bigint, std.complex, and std.format
already support it.

Works for me. Walter?
It'll break every D program.
Probably you and I have a different thing in mind. I'm thinking of
adding that alongside the existing toString.
Thinking more about it, I fear that ascribing the two overloads the same
name will cause problems when e.g. a class overrides one overload thus
hiding the other.
So we should look for a different name. Which?
I think writeTo is a suitable name.
