Looks neat!  FmtGuard is especially useful-looking.

I have a couple of questions, however:

- Why did you choose strf() and scoutf()?
Usually there aren't any abbreviations in std stuff, and strstream is
deprecated now in favour of stringstring, so wouldn't stringf() make
more sense?  Also, scoutf seems odd, since it has nothing whatsoever
to do with cout.  Perhaps streamf() would be better? It parallels
stringf() slightly better, imho.

- How well does it handle references?
Although that can presumably avoided with reference_wrapper

- How much performance does not doing it boost.format-%-overload-style save?
There is a certain elegance to doing it that way...

Impressed,
