I don't have a code snippets, but in dmd-v2.029/src/phobos/std/format.d:2054 else static if (is(const(D) : const Object)) { // @@@BUG 2367@@@ //if (obj is null) w.write("null"); if (obj is null) w.put("null"[]); else w.put(obj.toString); // 2054 } dmd/linux/bin/../bin/../../src/phobos/std/format.d(2054): Error: obj.toString can only be called on a mutable object, not const(...) This because Object.toString is not declared const. So how to fix this?

I changed line 2054 to: else w.put((cast(Object)obj).toString); it seems to be working.
