format can't be nothrow, because it throws when you screw up the format specifiers. You have to wrap it in a try-catch block and assert(0) in the catch block if you want to put it in a nothrow function. std.datetime does this in at least a few places.
The annoyance of this is that it means that any otherwise @safe pure nothrow function that has an assert() in it can be blocked from being nothrow if it needs a formatted string for the assert failure message.
Note that this restriction still applies even if the code is being compiled with -release and the assertion therefore stripped out.
Or am I missing a trick as to how to deal with assert() and enforce() ... ? :-)
