--- Comment #1 from Vladimir Panteleev <dlang-bugzilla at thecybershadow.net> ---
I believe formattedRead correctly mimics the behaviour of C's scanf function.
See the documentation e.g. on http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdio/scanf/.

The relevant part is:

> A single whitespace in the format string validates any quantity 
> of whitespace characters extracted from the stream (including none).

Emphasis on "including none".

As such, I believe the behaviour is as expected, so I'm going to close this,
but please reopen if you have a compelling argument to do so.
