Firt, i would like to know if you are interested in receiving comments an bug reports for DMD V1.

If yes, then the following example does not work:

http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/phobos/std_format.html

import std.c.stdio;
import std.format;
void formattedPrint(...)
{
  void putc(char c)  {fputc(c, stdout);}
  std.format.doFormat(&putc, _arguments, _argptr);
}


declaring: void putc(dchar c) fixes the problem.

Also to a D newbee like me, _arguments and _argptr are confusing.

_arginfo or _argtype is more significant.
_argptr could be _arglist or _argvalue or _arguments

Those names would be a better fit to the explanations given.

D1 bugs are still fixed, so bug reports are welcome.

D1 has been declared stable, though, so there is usually no point in submitting enhancement requests for it.

That's a bug in the documentation, please report. :)

That, on the other hand, would be a breaking change, so it won't happen.

I think that D1 should receive more attention.

Does not have to be breaking.
You could define new names while keeping the old.

Thanks for your attention.
