When converting a float to a string from within a mixin an error is given. 

Example:

import std.conv;
enum doubleString = mixin("to!string(0.6)");

Gives the following error:

..src\phobos\std\format.d(1355): Error: _snprintf cannot be interpreted at
compile time, because it has no available source code


The reason for the error is clear: _snprintf is an external function and can
therefore not be interpreted.

However, I think that compile-time conversion of floats to strings should be
supported. Perhaps the formatting code can be ported to the std library instead
of using an external function?
