          Issue ID: 19229
           Summary: formattedWrite destructively iterates over forward
                    ranges
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: phobos
          Assignee: nobody@puremagic.com
          Reporter: simen.kjaras@gmail.com

unittest {
    import std.conv;
    import std.algorithm;
    auto a = [sort([1,2,3])];
    assert(text(a) == text(a));
}

The above assert triggers. The issue is std.format.formatRange destructively iterates over a[i], leaving an exhausted range behind.

std.format.formatRange or its callers need to be made aware of isForwardRange.
