I would be all for .NET's String.Format() style of formatting. Adobe Flex
provides a similar method in StringUtil.substitute() which provides ordered
substitution using the same {0} and {1} style tokens, but doesn't have any
formatting.

I'm interested in string formating, but surely not sprintf
I don't find it intuitive at all
I prefer something closer to String.format from .NET
but more dynamic and being able to use sort of tokens
like the ones you can use with E4X (<node>{token}</node>)
see here for an implementation
http://maashaack.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ES4a/src/system/Strings.as
( public static function format( format:String, ...args ):String )
cheers,
zwetan
