I just want to retry reading if input was invalid. How can I do 
it?


I found that formattedRead!"%d\n"(readln(), i) can avoid the 
buffer overrun why readf cannot do this?

void main() {
    int i;
    try {
        formattedRead!"%d\n"(readln(), i);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        // writeln(e);
        auto s = readln();
        writeln(s); // ""
    }
}
