           Summary: Inconsistent formatting of arrays in std.stdio.write()
                    and std.conv.to!(string)()
           Product: D

The documentation for std.stdio.write() says: "... for each argument ... format
the argument (as per to!(string)(arg)) ...".  Nevertheless, arrays are
formatted differently when using std.stdio.write() and std.conv.to!(string)():

import std.stdio;
import std.conv;
void main() {
        writeln([1,2,3]);               // prints [1 2 3]
        writeln(to!(string)([1,2,3]));  // prints [1,2,3]
}

I expect the formatting to be identical.
