Thanks Steven, We need a real Pepsi challenge here to show the insignificance of this change. I am not against change. But when we lose something as - compact- as %formating i'm going to want to see a damn good reason for it! Especially when this breaks code, and the "French Connection" is not good enough reason for me :)
