For the ignorant: I do NOT mean variadic templates as used by std.stdio.
I note that they are not mentioned in TDPL. What is the deal with them
and their future? I'll be very displeased if I have to recode a good bit
of Tango that uses them if they are removed... None of my attempts at
coding a replacement for them using variadic templates have matched
their efficiency (in terms of generated code size) or ease of use (they
invariably require a shim function).

They are useful to interface with existing C code and variadic template
have drawback (they for instance cannot be virtual).
I would discourage using such a feature, unless you are a lib writter
that really know what he/she is doing, because it is unsafe. But they
are too important to go.
