To be fair, isn't the printf typing in ocaml a massively ugly hack to
the type system? Isn't there an example in the template haskell
tutorial that gives a typesafe, clean generic printf function?

Still, the code is a bit unsatisfactory because of the appearances of

I'd love to see it.
Coming from Ocaml one of the things I miss is compile time
checking of printf arguments.
