D1 bugs are still fixed, so bug reports are welcome.

D1 has been declared stable, though, so there is usually no point in 
submitting enhancement requests for it.


 If yes, then the following example does not work:
 
 http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/phobos/std_format.html
 
 import std.c.stdio;
 import std.format;
 void formattedPrint(...)
 {
   void putc(char c)  {fputc(c, stdout);} std.format.doFormat(putc,
   _arguments, _argptr);
 }
 
 
 declaring: void putc(dchar c) fixes the problem.

That's a bug in the documentation, please report. :)


 Also to a D newbee like me, _arguments and _argptr are confusing.
 
 _arginfo or _argtype is more significant. _argptr could be _arglist or
 _argvalue or _arguments
 
 Those names would be a better fit to the explanations given.

That, on the other hand, would be a breaking change, so it won't happen.

Ok. Will submit a report.

I think that D1 should receive more attention.

Does not have to be breaking.
You could define new names while keeping the old.

Thanks for your attention.
