You could write a little wrapper function to do that
uint myformattedRead (R, Char, S...)(R r, const(Char)[] fmt, auto
ref S args) {
formattedRead(r, fmt, args);
}
It just strips the ref off of the input string but otherwise
forwards the same thing.
The reason it is ref tho btw is that that allows it to continue
off a particular input; you can do like
string s;
formattedRead(s, ....)
formattedRead(s, ....) // this one picks up where the last one
left off
