See a (very quick and very dirty ;) strawman that I just posted to the wiki. I think this has some interesting semantics, including the ability to control the separator inline in a C++-like fashion. The writef() version also accepts string.Templates or %s-strings as its first argument. I'm not sure I like reserving 'to' and 'nl' keyword arguments, and not having the ability to print Separator instances directly, but OTOH maybe those aren't big deals. Anyway, this is close to what (I think) I'd like to see in the proposed built-ins. I'm out of time for now, so I'll check back later for all the derision and mocking. :) -Barry
