I made a PR to phobos where I modified `std.format.format`. https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/3528

However the auto builder fails, with the error message:
runnable/test23.d(1219): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (format("s = %s", s)) of type char[] to string

The line which fails is `p = std.string.format("s = %s", s);`

I don't understand why I can't convert a char[] to string.

I think it has to do with the fact that string is an alias to immutable(char)[] and you can't implicitely cast an immutable to a regular variable.
