Doesn't writef/writefln accept wchar[] / dchar[] as format strings?  Or is 
there some other functionality that's missing?

Sure. Or at least, I expect so.

I just got back to some old code from last year, for turning COM type 
libraries into classes, and it's got a lot of wprintf() in it, which now 
no longer compiles. So it just prompted my curiosity.

I think it's a bug. It is commented out in std.c.stdio - it shouldn't be.
The history is that it was in object.d but declared as taking wchar which 
was the wrong type on Linux. In order to make it take wchar_t it was removed 
from object.d but it looks like it wasn't uncommented in std.c.stdio.

I think it was an accident.  If you're so inclined, however, you might want to
take a look at my standard C headers:

They're a bit more complete than the ones in Phobos, and the layout is as close
to standard as I could get it without any undue cleverness.
