I'd like to move all proposed functions into the core, and not to add
contrib/stringfunc.
I think those functions are very useful and worth adding in core.
* concat(), concat_ws(), reverse(), left() and right() are ready to commit.
* format() is almost ready, except consensus of NULL representation.
* sprintf() is also useful, but we cannot use swprintf() in it because
there are many problems in converting to wide chars. We should
develop mbchar-aware version of %s formatter.
* IMHO, concat_sql() has very limited use cases. Boolean and numeric
values are not quoted, but still need product-specific conversions because
some DBs prefer 1/0 instead of true/false.
Also, dblink_build_sql_insert() provides similar functionality. Will
we have both?

Still failed :-( I used UTF8 database with *locale=C* on 64bit Linux.
char2wchar() doesn't seem to work on C locale. We should avoid
using the function and converting mb chars to wide chars.
select sprintf('>>>%10s %10d<<<', 'hello', 10);
