I found this by accident:

void main()

     writeln(to!string(2, 2));  // writes 10
     writeln(to!string(1, 0));  // std.conv.ConvException: Radix error
}

I'm not sure why "std.conv.to" would even take multiple arguments. Bugzilla?

to! does some fancy stuff, like here:

auto myarr = [1,2,3];
writeln(to!string(myarr, "myarr:\n", "\n", "\n-----\n");

will write (untested, but should work :-)

myarr:
1
2
3
