digitalmars.D.learn - D2: Indexed format specifiers?

reply "Nick Sabalausky" <a a.a> writes:
I could have sworn I saw Andrei say somewhere a while ago that Phobos2 
supported posix-style indexed format specifiers. From what I could figure 
out from some searching that on the web, those are like "%1$s". But this 
gives me a FormatException:

"%1$s".format("A");

And this works fine:

"%s".format("A");

Did I get the format wrong?

It works with writefln(), so it looks like it's a bug in format(). - Jonathan M Davis

Hmm, indeed it does work in writefln. Filed: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4532
