writefln("%1$s", "A");  // Prints "A"
format("%1$s", "A");  // Throws FormatError

This is most peculiar.  Why has it been added directly into writef, rather than being put in doFormat where it belongs?

I've just looked at the code and seem to have figured out what's going on. Traditionally, std.format.doFormat is the function that underlies all the writef* functions and std.string.format.  However, a new templated function has been written to replace it, std.format.formattedWrite.  The problem is that std.string.format still uses doFormat, as do the writef* functions in std.stream and others.

We need to get this fixed, and then deprecate doFormat.
