It sort of is...

look up the Windows SDK for AllocConsole, GetStdHandle, WriteConsole,
ReadConsoleInput, and FreeConsole. There a re a few other functions
available to, but these are the basic ones.

And one more solution:

dwritef  - writef into debugging console (VisualStudio or WinDbg)

version(Windows)
{
  extern (Windows)
  {
    export void OutputDebugStringA(char* lpOutputString);
  }
}

debug void dwritef(...)
{
    char[] s;
    void putc(dchar c)
    {
      std.utf.encode(s, c);
    }
    std.format.doFormat(&putc, _arguments, _argptr);

    version(Windows)
    {
      OutputDebugStringA(s);
    }
} else void dwritef(...) {}

Trevor, 

You may find the D converted version of wincon.h, renamed to wincon.d on my site
useful...there's also two very useful examples included in the download. Just
look for the "Fun with the NT / XP Console in D", which is the bottom entry of
the following web page.
