Sure. From what I can see of the Microsoft documentation a standardized
String.format() function would meet the need for a standardized way of
formatting a string just as well as a method based on C/Perl/PHP/Ruby
sprintf() and Python's native string formatting, where named parameters are
used instead of positional parameters.
Assuming there are no intellectual property concerns with adopting
Microsoft's specification for this method, it would satisfy my use case for
a string formatting method that accepts explicit positional or named
parameters in support of internationalized text. I would simply be delighted
if ES4 saved me and others from having to roll our own string formatter
classes!
