dynamic format specifier possible?

[forkit via Digitalmars-d-learn]

I would like to calculate the width of the format specifier 
dynamically, at runtime.

e.g int WIDTH = something.length;
then my format specifier would be: %WIDTHs instead of %9s

module test;

import std;

void main()
{
    int val = 999000;
    writefln("[%9s]", val); // [   999000]
}
