C# style formatting has the (dis?)advantage that it is possible to duplicate and reorder values by only changing the format string. This is sometimes useful for crude internationalization and localization. Are these sorts of use cases within the scope of this discussion? Will dynamic format strings even be possible? I imagine developers needing this sort of functionality may be better off using a dedicated i18n library. Steven
