Description Sam Hu 2009-06-27 02:18:45 UTC 
Below code snippet is from std.metastrings:

string s=Format!("Arg %s=%s","foo",27);
writefln(s);// "Arg foo = 27"

can't compile,error msg:
testFormat.d(30): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression ("Arg %s=%sfoo27") of type const(char[]) to immutable(char)[]


Not sure whether this is a bug.
