oh it also keeps the newlines attached. Blargh.

Well, forget the D functions, just use the C functions:

import core.stdc.stdio;

void main() {
         char[16] token;
         while(scanf("%15s", &token) != EOF)
                 printf("**%s**\n", token.ptr);
}



You could convert to a string if needed with import std.conv; 
to!string(token.ptr), but if you can avoid that, you should, this 
loop has no allocations which is a nice thing.
