What's the correct way of implementing formattedRead support for

Unfortunately, there is not yet general way.
The definition of unformatValue for user-defined type in 
different module isn't considered by std.format module. D's 
module system is closed in basic.

Maybe do you want to open this discussion in the main D
newsgroup? I think this is not a very important issue, but it's a
nice thing to have.
