one's program. Rather than returning void it would be nice to 
have a version of these that will pass along the data that was 
passed to them.

Problem is ... there might not be string representation of output, it's 
all sent to the device in parts lazily. (e.g. writeln(a, b, c) )
And requiring it to allocate temporary buffer just so you can put it in 
a cool expression chain... beats me.

  Rather than
 returning void it would be nice to have a version of these that will
 pass along the data that was passed to them.

T passAlong( alias F, T )( T args ) {
     alias unaryFun!F fn;
     fn( args );
     return args;
}

Usage:

[1,2,3].passAlong!writeln().UFCS();


Happy?
