digitalmars.D - Reading bool as the string "true" or "false"

reply Ali Cehreli <acehreli yahoo.com> writes:
If the default behavior for dout.writefln is to print bool values as the "true"
and "false" strings, then the opposite should be available and arguably be the
default:

  // "true" and "false" should be acceptable inputs:
  bool b;
  din.readf(&b);

Am I wrong?

Thanks,
Ali

P.S. There hasn't been any responses to the same question that I asked at the
.learn forum:

Open a bug; the newgroups aren't the right place for this. Thanks!
