Hi,
Is there a way to apply a function "format" with BigInt?

-----
import std.stdio, std.bigint, std.string;

void main() {

	BigInt n = -10;

	string s = format("%b", n); // error

	writeln(s);
}

BigInt only supports %d, %x, %X and %s:
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_bigint.html#.BigInt.toString

The missing %o and %b were probably an oversight, feel free to file an enhancement request or submit a PR.

All right. I will file a request.

Just tell me, please, in which section should apply similar requests?
