I've been reading through and trying various code fragments to
pull the system date/time in and format it as a string for

I only need it down to the second and from my current machine
so I don't need to use any of the more accurate clocks used for
benchmarking right now.
This is the easiest way i know.
import std.stdio;
import std.datetime;
void main(string[] args)
{
writeln(Clock.currTime.toLocalTime.toSimpleString);
}
It would be nice if all the primitive datatypes had a
consistent toString cast or function but since I'm not seeing
those I guess writeFormatted must be the preferred way of
getting values into string format.
See std.conv and the 'to' function.
data.to!(string)
data.to!(int)
etc...
