This leaks too much.

  writeln("Helo {} {}".format("xx", "name")); // Helo xx name
  writeln("Helo {} {}".format("{}", "name")); // Helo name {}

This function replace {} for arguments received. You just need 
don't send {} as arguments.
I tested native function format() in Python:
print("Helo {} {}".format("{}", "name")) # Helo {} name
Nothing wrong, working same way.

It doesn't work the same way. These are not the same:

  Helo name {}
  Helo {} name

Python's implementation doesn't get confused if your format()
arguments include a {}.

Try this:

import std: Format = format;

string format(T...)(T text){return text[0].replace("{}", 
"%s").Format(text[1..$]);}
