1) First enhancement request: #36873. Adds MessageFormat like format
patterns. It's an enhancement, seems like a pretty good one to me as
it is an enhancement that builds on the JDK and not a new feature. How
does this sit on people's slippery slopes?
OTOH, the class VariableFormatter is named as such *because* it is not a
"Format" subclass and was not intended to be. So providing "Format"
features via a subclass to VariableFormatter is clean in the sense that
we are not mixing things up but not really what I had in mind (that's
the great part about OS). OTOH (the OOH), if we really think this is a
fantastic feature, we should consider if it should be better integrated
than with a subclass.
I would like to see any changes here properly integrated if its going to
be added. I haven't studied the change in too much detail, but I don't
see it as an independent piece of functionality.
I would also want to avoid making the inner classes public if possible.
BTW, lots of inner classes make the jar file quite a lot bigger.
