Actually this is good because it allows to customize the

to print only a subset of available information (I've
actually used this).
Note that this works:
writefln("%d", x, x);
But the following throws since v2.061:
writeln(format("%d", x, x));
std.format.FormatException@C:\dmd-git\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\string.d(2346):
Orphan format arguments: args[1..2]
I find the latter to be quite useful for debugging code, and

this feature for a long time.
I think that's a bug in format that we need to fix.

I wanted to react on this: I'm surprised that writef and format
*could* even have different behaviors (!) Don't both just forward
to some sort of "format(sink, fmt, args...)" function that
handles all the common code?
Or are there other subtle differences, bugs, where writef would
produce different output from format?
