Have `formattedRead` any other special chars?
Or it's bug?
I think it's a bug:
The char 0x20 is meant to be skipped till end of the string or a
parseable char in the format string by the function
readUpToNextSpec().
If the function found a whitespace in the input string, it's fine
and skipped as long there is another whitespace char. But if the
input string range is already done, it also does just nothing
anymore. For other chars if would throw the 'Cannot find
character' exception.
But the source declared this as "backwards compatibility":
```
string s = " 1.2 3.4 ";
double x, y, z;
assert(formattedRead(s, " %s %s %s ", &x, &y, &z) == 2);
assert(s.empty);
assert(approxEqual(x, 1.2));
assert(approxEqual(y, 3.4));
assert(isNaN(z));
```
So it seems to be a desired behaviour.
