Note that because of typesafe varags, this is a *much* smaller problem for D,
than it is for C or C++. Your test case generates a run-time exception. In C,
it silently fails, and it can be quite difficult to realize that the reason the
printed results are different to what you expected, is because there was an
error in the format string.

Personally I've wasted an enormous amount of time on this bug in C++ (and when
I use printf in D), but I've never had any problems with writefln or format.
I think it's a printf-specific bug.
