I have noted that DMD and GDC provide a different output to the

writeln(format("$%-12,3.2f",66543.22));
DMD outputs
$66,543.22
GDC outputs
$66,543.22 ,
As you can see, GDC puts a superflous comma at the end. The
goal of this line is to convert a float to a monetary
representation, therefore DMD is what I want and GDC not.
The question is, is the line of code in error? If not, does
this mean there is a bug with GDC's libphobos?

I figured it out, its my lack of experience in D.
format("$%-*,3.2f",x.dig,x);
where x is the floating point value works as expected.
