I want to create a DIP, but it looks like I can't edit anything without a 'valid' username.  However, when I put schveiguy as a username, it says that's not valid.  How do I get a valid username?

text, wtext, and dtext accept a variable number of arguments of all types and create one string by concatenating to!(w|d|)string for all inputs.

The username has to be mixed case for whatever reason (e.g., "SchveiGuy" or "StevenSchveighoffer").


From http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?WelcomeVisitor:
<<
You are welcome to edit pages in this wiki, but please enter your name on your "Preferences" page by clicking this link: Edit Preferences

There is no formal "account creation" required. Note, however, that the name you enter on the "Preferences" page must be all one word in "MixedCase"
or you will get an invalid username error. So "JimbobMcCranston" is ok, but "Jimbob McCranston" and "jimbob" are not.

The main reason for requiring a name to be set in the preferences is to reduce the amount of spam that has been put into this wiki by spam bots.

Really? It doesn't work for me.

import std.complex;
import std.stdio;

void main()
{
    cdouble z2 = 10 + 1.5e-6i;
    Complex!(double) z;
    z.re = 10;
    z.im = 1.5e-6;
    writefln("z= %.16f z2 = %.16f", z, z2);
}

Prints:
z = 10+1.5e-06i z2 = 10.0000000000000000+0.0000015000000000i

Haven't tested, but docs state that

"Note that complex numbers are floating point numbers, so the only valid format characters are 'e', 'f', 'g', 'a', and 's', where 's' gives the default behaviour. ***Positional parameters are not valid in this context.***"

I'd suggest trying one of those other format types without the numeric parts.

    writefln("z = %f z2 = %f", z, z2);
z = 10+1.5e-06i z2 = 10.000000+0.000001i
    writefln("z = %e z2 = %e", z, z2);
z = 10+1.5e-06i z2 = 1.000000e+01+1.500000e-06i
    writefln("z = %a z2 = %a", z, z2);
z = 10+1.5e-06i z2 = 0x1.4p+3+0x1.92a737110e454p-20i

Then I agree, it doesn't work.

Clearly there's a bug in the formatting logic. Should be easy to fix, but I'm groping for time at the moment. Don, could you please bugzillize? Thanks.
