Hi, wondering why this happens:

void ods(T...)(auto ref T args){
format(args).ptr;
return;

ods("%s @ %s", mystring, mystring.ptr);
Error: undefined identifier format
If I add: "import std.string;" everything compiles and works.
Since the docs of std.format contains all the format specifier
description etc. I would expect that only including
"std.format" should be enough.
For whatever reasons, format() used to be defined in std.string.
Indeed it's unintuitive to have it there, and it also pulls in
lots of other unrelated things like Unicode tables when you
import std.string. That's why it was moved into std.format in
this PR:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/2732
It will be available in 2.067, soon to be released.
