        // and move on
        w.put(fmt[0 .. i]);

/// BUG !!  unable to ever reset a size_t for loop index value to zero, because
it is always incremented to 1 at start of next iteration.  This means next
character after a '%%' will be dropped.

/// A better version might look like this.
/// Take the i++ out of the for loop top, move it to the first test case.

            fmt = fmt[i .. $];
            return;
        }
        // doubled! Now print whatever we had, then update the string
        // and move on
        w.put(fmt[0 .. i]);
        fmt = fmt[i + 1 .. $];
        i = 0; // OK now, will be 0 at the top of the loop
    }
