Hello all,

I'm currently messing around in the internals of std.complex (cf. discussion on 
main mailing list:-).  In Complex.toString there is a deprecation message
asking 
the user to "use std.format.format()".

However, so far as I can tell both via docs and browsing std/format.d there
_is_ 
no std.format.format() -- there's only std.string.format().

So, what gives? :-)

Thanks & best wishes,

     -- Joe

for string formatting use std.string.format, it is like writefln 
but for strings.

 Thanks for the quick merge. std.complex.Imaginary to follow :-)

 
 I don't know... Is it actually possible merge imaginary code? ;)

Sure sounds like a complex task... :P

 Yes, but the lines run up and down the screen ;-)

Rotate the code by 90° to get real code!

But be careful which direction you rotate the code; it may end up doing
the opposite of what it's intended to do. And I'm not sure github
supports this kind of merging. But that's tangential to the issue! :P
