Why?  formattedprinting() would be a bit long, thus using the C library
name sounds logical to me.

Sprintf() would have been more logical to me, given that printf() in C
prints a formatted string to stdout, while printf() in Vim returns a
formatted string to its caller.  Format() is another name used in some
languages for this function.

It's too late to change anyway.

I realize that.
