You do realize that you have used "s" in the D version?
Yes, I thought it was a stand in for "use the type to determine the
specifier", and I mistakenly assumed that would be 'f', since that's
what I've always used for floating point. Apparently it is 'g', which
behaves as I have shown.
This is a bit more interesting:
writefln("%0.3s", f); // 20.7
printf("%0.3s\n", f); // 20.
That is really bad, because %s means interpret the parameter as a char *
string. So the memory pointed at by the bit pattern of 20.66666 cast to
a pointer, has the first 3 bytes '2', '0', and '.', and then a null
character (or a bunch of unprintable characters, followed by a null).
Bizarre...
