Thanks Kenji, I will use xformat. BTW, why is it named "x"format? Would not
"s"format be a better name? Where "s" could stand for string.
Also I feel, std.string.format should work for BitArray and BigInt too.
Both these types are defined as part of phobos.

std.string.format uses std.format.doFormat, and it is based on RTTI.
On the other hand, writeln/writefln uses std.format.formattedWrite and
formatValue, they are based on Compile Time Reflection.
So the results are different.
In 2.060head, std.string.xformat is added, and it works as like writefln
I have files a phobos bug report.

Greetings
std.string.format throws runtime exception for BigInt and for BitArray
types even though writefln works fine. The run-time error says
std.format.FormatException@std/format.d(4744): Can't convert
std.bigint.BigInt to string: "string toString()" not defined
Here is a small test case.
