Description Kenji Hara 2011-09-02 12:00:03 UTC 
I have posted two pull requests around value formatting/unformatting features.
(They are yet not merged.)

Improve std.format.formatValue
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/126

Improve value unformatting
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/208

After their merging into Phobos, std.conv.to can use them for value to string.

I think we should consolidate formatting/unformatting functions into std.format.
