Hi all,
Aatch, Kimundi and I (and maybe some others... sorry if I've forgotten
you) came up with a bit of proposal on IRC for handling fmt!. It's
possibly been considered already, but whatever, we'd like some
comments on it.
There would one trait for each format specifier (probably excluding

I'm glad you are thinking

As for that library, I heavily suggest letting translators manipulate Rust code
directly. I see it as no more difficult than asking them to learn a special
micro-language that keeps evolving and pattern-matching is really adapted for
the task at hand.
I'd like to react to this.

I agree. And if expressions are in Rust, you get the benefit of a Rust
compiler validating them. A lamb
