Description David Nadlinger 2012-02-10 21:44:45 UTC 
Currently (2.058 Git), the following snippet triggers a generic enforce() exception without any further information:
---
import std.stdio;
void main() {
  int a;
  writefln("%d", &a);
}
---

A FormatException with a helpful message should be thrown instead.
