I'm playing around with std.format and I'm trying to figure out if there
is any way to identify what "%s" should expand to.
So for instance:
int x = 1;
auto result = x.format!"%s";
I would know that result="1". I could run "1" through unformatValue and
get back 1. I'm looking to see if there is a way to get back "%d":
really a function would be like f(x, "%s") produces "%d".
Is there anything like that in std.format?
Well, for most things, %s does not do the same thing as another
specifier. It's only integers, which format the same as %d, and floating
points, which format the same as %g.
For all others, the format is specified as %s.
I think what you really want is just isFloatingPoint or isIntegral.
