What do you mean, crashing writefln? What do you get on the terminal?
About the file, there seems to be a bug --but unrelated to writefln. The file 
is closed, I guess because of scope(exit), before the output stream is flushed. 
If this is the right interpretation, then there is a precedence issue; scope's 
action should not be performed before the func's own action is actually
completed.

It quits out the at about the 2nd attempt at printing text (that doesn't 
go to the terminal because of the def file argument in the compile 
arguments).

I didn't see any problem with the File stuff, I can use writeln and it 
does all ten iterations, (not printing any thing of course). I used 
write instead of writeln, write doesn't flush like writeln, maybe.

I noticed my program that had been running fine before, but suddenly 
bailed out almost strait away since I used the def file in the compile 
arguments.

My understanding is that the "0..10" isn't actually a range notation,
and you need to use iota(0, 10). I may be wrong, but if I'm right,
hopefully someone can explain why this syntax works?
I remember there being a discussion about this recently; I'll see if I
can find it.

It works because it's a specialized syntax for foreach. Oh, and I think 
in case statements you can use it too, but I don't remember if the first 
was inclusive and the second exclusive, or both, or what. But... it just 
works for those cases. For the rest you have to use iota...

Yes, it's a quite messy design. And Walter & Andrei seem to think it's OK.

0..10 works with foreach. It's specific to foreach. iota also works, because it 
produces a range rather being built in to the language. As such, iota works in 
places _other_ than foreach. But 0..10 works just fine in foreach. It
definitely 
pre-dates iota.

If I dust off my rusty old Windows hat, I believe if you try to write to  
stdout while there is no console window, you will encounter an error.

So don't do that ;)  I'm not sure what you were expecting...

 But don't forget, D uses DMC's runtime, not Visual Studio. Make sure you
 are comparing to DMC compiled programs.

writeln works, just not writefln so much. Haven't tried eg. writeln( 
format( "%s", value ) );

Can have a version system for with, and with out the terminal. Just 
don't think I need to do more than just adding and removing the .def 
file from the compiler arguments.
