Well, for most things, %s does not do the same thing as another

For all others, the format is specified as %s.
I think what you really want is just isFloatingPoint or isIntegral.
I'm pretty sure that isFloatingPoint/isIntegral is not what I need, but
I'm also not sure if what I was asking for above is needed either. So
I'll just drop it for now.
What I mean is that %s goes to %d for isIntegral!(typeof(x)), and %s
goes to %g for isFloatingPoint!(typeof(x)), and stays as %s for
everything else.
Given this, you could probably write the function you were looking for.
