This would do the same. I wouldn't say it's a trick.

Well, you know, that's one of the not so great things about
Dlang... you cannot even trust the provided examples, if there
are any:
C:\Temp\D>more formattedReadIps.d
import std.format;
string s = "hello!124:34.5";
string a;
int b;
double c;
formattedRead(s, "%s!%s:%s", &a, &b, &c);
assert(a == "hello" && b == 124 && c == 34.5);
C:\Temp\D>dmd -v formattedReadIps.d
binary C:\D\dmd2\windows\bin\dmd.exe
