Variable field widths

Reported by: KirkMcDonald Assigned to: kris
Priority: normal Milestone: 1.0
Component: Tango Version:
Keywords: format Cc:

Description

printf-style format strings support variable field widths: 

int i = 20;
writefln("%*s", i, "some string");

Tango's format strings do not appear to have this functionality, which is extraordinarily useful when printing columnar output.

decided to not do this, since it introduces a dependency in the ordering of the arguments (which is no good when indexing is applied).

Recommend the provision of a wrapper for handling the % of cases where this functionality is needed.
