--- Comment #1 from Nick Treleaven <nick@geany.org> ---
Just for reference, you can now use a compile-time format string - you get an error for the right source line (after the first error):

writef!"%*10d"(100);

/dlang/dmd/src/phobos/std/stdio.d(3878): Error: static assert:  "$ expected"
onlineapp.d(5):        instantiated from here: writef!("%*10d", int)

Fixing this issue could still be useful for runtime format strings.

(In reply to ric from comment #0)
> The code below throws a FormatException but reports an error from the library source instead of reporting the error from the offending line in the user program.

That's not true. The last line contains the error in the user program. When compiling with -g you would see there:

[...]
test.d:5 _Dmain [0x47437c1]

> Also, a more informative error message would help.

Yeah, something like "$ expected while parsing the format string" maybe?
