Wat has just happened here?

There was a Windows-specific bug report. A person who isn't fimilar with Phobos
and lokks like a newbie (not his fault by the way) tested it on Linux, said
"testcase works" and changed OS to Linux, also proving the fact he has no idea
how does formatting work by writing "format() isnt os specific" and "Report
mentions std.format.formatValue but doesnt test it". And based on this the
issue was closed by a Phobos developer.

So I'd like to ask Phobos devs: please, if your are tired and out of time,
don't do thoughtless actions. In case something probably can be easily
closed/fixed etc. please ask issue reporter or another person who has more time
to induct because such actions in the worst case may remain unnoticed. Thanks.
