On page 22 of TDPL, we have the following code:

import std.contracts, std.stdio;
void main(string[] args) {
  // ...
  for (double x; readf(" %s ", &x) == 1; ) {
    // ...
  }
  // ...
}

Using DMD v2.047, I get the following error on the readf call:

  Error: undefined identifier readf, did you mean function readln?

I didn't see this mentioned in the TDPL errata.  Was there a change to the
standard library after the book
went to press?  Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Jeff

Andrei talked about that on the digitalmars.D list. He forgot to check in 
the code for it, so it's not in v2.047. However, I believe that he's checked 
it into the svn version, so readf should be in v2.048 when that comes out.
