          Issue ID: 16161
           Summary: std.format doesn't acknowledge preceding int-width
                    argument
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: phobos

If the type is string or integer, specifying a width works well. However it
doesn't for characters:

%*s".writefln(2, "#"));
  #

%*d".writefln(2, 42));
  42

%*c".writefln(2, '#'));
#
