Oops, I'm stupid, It is not %0, but %s... std.string.format is good.
Now I need to pass an array of char[] instead of va_args, I have found
a work around, but it seems bad :

string formatArray(char[][] args)
{
   switch (args.length)
   {
     case 1: return format(args[0]);
     case 2: return format(args[0], args[1]);
     // ...
   }
}

If someone have something better...

Cheers.
