The debug section in the library file gives a debug function which I extracted ,changed and ran . It works OK

import tango.io.Console;
import tango.text.convert.Layout;

void main ()
{
                auto layout = new Layout!(char);

                layout.sprint (new char[3], "hi");
                Cout (layout ("{:d2}", 56)).newline;
                Cout (layout ("{:f4}", 0.001)).newline;
                Cout (layout ("{:f8}", 3.14159)).newline;
                Cout (layout ("{:e20}", 0.001)).newline;
                Cout (layout ("{:e4}", 0.0000001)).newline;
                Cout (layout ("ptr:{}", &layout)).newline;
                Cout (layout ("{:C}}", 4.456789)).newline;
                Cout (layout ("{:c}}", 4.456789)).newline;
                
                struct S
{
                   char[] toString () {return "foo";}      
}

                S s;
                Cout (layout ("struct: {}", s)).newline;
}

/*Output of this is OK -I added ":C" liness to the tango library file it wasn't there
