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

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).
C variadics are note the same as D variadics. D has four kinds
of variadics:
* Template
* D style
* Type safe
* C style
Five, if you count lazy variadics.
