if(condition&&  writeln("my output"))

since the result fed to if must be a bool, but a statement doesn't need to
result in bool, so apparently you can use&&  with a void function in a
statement. It's just that the void function must be last.

Then Andrei has taken leave of his senses and this is one situation where DMD is corrent and TDPL is wrong.

Half arsed, moronic shortcuts like that belong in scripting languages and shell environements, not serious programming languages.
