Reading into char arrays and dropping the format string works (tried 
with dmd 2.047):

	char[] s1;
	int i;
	char[] s2;
	char[] s3;

	char[] s0 = "a 5 bc e".dup;
	auto s = new TArrayStream!(char[])(s0);

         s.readf(&s1, &i, &s2, &s3);

I hear that the streams will be (are?) deprecated. There will be 
std.stdio.readf which will be in the next dmd release.
