Unexpected '4' when converting from type LockingTextReader to

I understand what is wrong and how to fix it but the produced
error is
incorrect.
To '\ n' does not remain in the input stream, it is necessary
to write so:
-----
readf("%s ", &studentCount);
I was meaning this as a bug report. But wanted to point out your
solution does not work. I was interested in D back in 1.0 days
but soo much has changed in d 2.0 that I'm reading through the
"Programming in D" book to learn all the new stuff and came
across this odd un-helpful error.
...
readf(" %s", &studentCount);
...
readf(" %s", &teacherCount);
...
that way it will ignore any non int chars left on the stdin
stream.
