std.stream has following code:
----------------------
void writeLine(char[] s) {
writeString(s);
version (Win32)
writeString("\r\n");
else version (Mac)
writeString("\r");
else
writeString("\n");
}
----------------------


how about making it
----------------------

version (Win32)
conts _D_NL = "\r\n"; 
else version (Mac)
conts _D_NL = "\r";
else
conts _D_NL = "\n";

void writeLine(char[] s) {
writeString(s);
writeString(_D_NL);
}
----------------------

so that we can use the constant _D_NL directly in our programs. 

May be such a constant is already defined somewhere, if so, could somebody
please point it to me ?

thanks in advance
