          Issue ID: 24644
           Summary: write functions should handle invalid bool values
                    specially
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: phobos
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: qs.il.paperinik gmail.com

Functions of the family write(f)?(ln)? should handle invalid `bool` values
(i.e. ones whose bit pattern isn’t `0x00` or `0x01`) by printing
`__bool(0x??)`
with `??` replaced by the hex value. For formatted write functions, that
applies to the `%s` format. Numeric formats such as `%d`, `%x`, etc., already
print the correct (bit-pattern) value.

This would make debugging invalid bool values a lot easier.
