I know about issue http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5231 , but
still the problem exists. It is ok (for me, at least) not to have an ability to
use writeln(BigInt(16)). But the design decision not to have string toString()
method also affects another parts of the library. There are at least two such
places.
First is to!string function. I think that it should work uniformly for all
sensible datatypes, and I expect the following equation to work: to!string(123)
== to!string(BigInt(123)), because I see no reason against it.
Second is, maybe, an implication of the first. See issue
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6023 .
I think this is not a correct situation. There may be reasons why I can't use
BigInt-valued random number, but these reasons certainly must not include the
inability to do BigInt->string conversion without useless format specifiers.

That worked in a previous release. It should still work.

Now to!string(BigInt(123)) works as expected. And bug 6023 is not relevant to
toString issue.
If there is other issues still, please reopen.
