The * has a different meaning for scanf than for printf ([1]

There's also the issue that a string is immutable(char)[].
If you really, really, really, must use scanf:
```
char[bufSize] buf;
scanf("%s", buf.ptr);
```
But please don't. This is D, not 1990s C.

Thanks! Actually for some reason. It won't accept a char[size].
I created a heap allocated (with pureFree and pureMalloc)
chrar*, then used fgets() and created an empty string and
looped through the result adding one by one character until the
'\n' which is not included.
char[buffsize] works if buffsize is a compile time constant. Or
just char[1024]. İt is a static array, and it's size must be
defined at compile time.
