           Summary: Textual representation of struct that doesn't define
                    toString()

This D2 program:


import std.stdio: writeln;
struct Foo { int x; string s; }
void main() {
    Foo f = Foo(1.5, "hello");
    writeln(f);
}


With DMD 2.048 it prints:
Foo


When a struct doesn't define a toString() I'd like (mostly for debugging
purposes) writeln/format to create a bit better textual representation, for
example it may show fields values:

Foo(x=1.5, s="hello")
