No, why would it? You gave it a string saying "Hey, the store the 
data in the next variable" then gave no such variable. Format 
detected it and rightfully threw an error. That's the following 
line from your paste:

object.Exception at C:\Users\Joan\Prog\D\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\form
at.d(594): Enforcement failed

It then printed as much of a stack trace as it could, not very 
useful as you didn't do much but it's there.

You gave it garbage and it threw an error. Compiler bugs are a 
reality but not *that* common ;-)
