<lichtkind> rakudo: my @d= 1..5; say @d.fmt( "jojo %d   %d");
<p6eval> rakudo 1eadbb: OUTPUT«Null PMC access in get_integer() [...]
<lichtkind> rakudo: my @d= 1..5; say @d.fmt( "%d", ',');
<p6eval> rakudo 1eadbb: OUTPUT«1,2,3,4,5␤»
<lichtkind> rakudo: my @d= 1..5; say @d.fmt( "%d-%s");
<p6eval> rakudo 1eadbb: OUTPUT«Null PMC access in get_string() [...]
<lichtkind> rakudo: my @d= 1..5; say @d.fmt( "-%s");
<p6eval> rakudo 1eadbb: OUTPUT«-1 -2 -3 -4 -5␤»
