Except that cout is not exactly something that would be considered a normal variable name. Something like info _is_. This logging module is taking incredibly common names and shoving them as far into the global namespace as anything can go in D which isn't a compiler built-in. _Not_ a good idea IMHO - not without good reason. And I really don't think that this merits it. log!info(msg) would work just fine and would be _far_ better. - Jonathan M Davis
