And what about toString?
Good question. What do you suggest?
Why can't we just kill that abomination?
Break a lot of existing code?
I'm unaware of much code that uses TypeInfo.xtostring to print anything.
write[f][ln] doesn't, and I don't think std.conv.to does either.
In other words, killing the "specialness" of toString doesn't mean killing
toString methods in all structs. What this does is allow us to not worry
about what you annotate your toString methods with, it just becomes a
regular method.
