Hi, is there an equivalent to C++ iostream's cout so that I can display
several data types in a simple way such as

int d = 10;
double x = 0.4711;

cout << "d is " << d << " and x is " << x << ".";

I believe that D's function set in Phobos requires me to use different
output functions for different data types which can be quite clumsy
at times.

Thanks,
Tommy

Are you looking for
  import std.cstream;
  dout.writef("d is ",d," and x is ",x,".");
Format control can be supplied with something like
  dout.writef("d is %5d and x is %.10e.",d,x);

Ah! Didn't understand the docs in this case. Thanks!
