D now checks for correctness with format specifiers, so I think that issue is 
resolved. I proposed that D go a little further and actually replace %s format 
specifiers with the correct format for the corresponding argument, but nobody 
wanted it.

But many features I added that nobody wanted turned out to be very desirable.
