What is the state of formatted input? There has been changes at some point. %x or %o don't work anymore:

    int i;
    int j;
    readf(" %o %x", &i, &j);

phobos/std/format.d(2690): Parsing spec 'o' not implemented.

Same error for '%x'. (Of course '%s' works but doesn't know octal or hexadecimal.)

Is this ever going to be implemented? Should I be using some other method?
