Is that intended, or a bug?

Please note that this works:

    int i;
    readf("%s", &i);

The strings (char arrays) are handled specially, therefore the [w|d]char 
arrays cannot be read. But are you sure you need to read chars and not 
strings (char arrays)? The following will work fine:

...
     char[] a;
     wchar[] b;
     dchar[] c;
...
