format expects 3 arguments, but what I really want is foo to be
used
for all 3 specifiers and not repeat 'foo' 3 times manually. Are
there
any format specifiers that do what I want? I've tried using
positional
specifiers but that didn't work:
string bar = format("%1$s %1$s %1$s", foo);
$ std.format.FormatException@std\format.d(4363): string
That's a great error message btw.
Positional specifier works just fine for me.
