This blog is fantastic. It would be great if it could be included 
into tour.dlang.org.

Kind regards

Yes, Great, many thanks! This is the kind of online docs Dlang 
needs more of.

Links for these "great docs" addressing various topics should be 
collected into a Dlang.org online file, where each "great doc" 
contains a link, followed by a brief description.

Getting good and useful, online file-io docs for C++ takes a few 
minutes, but getting equivalent useful information on Dlang 
functions took me hours, with no successful outcome.

IMHO Dlang.org online doc related to file io are too terse to be 
useful to anyone trying to learn Dlang, and are only useful to 
those that already familiar with them and who only need a "syntax 
reminder"
