Re: [boost] Review : format2, yet another 'printf class'

While we're exploring that path, we could get even more Pythonic:

  format(" $1 $2 $3") % tuple(x, y z))

or, heck, fully pythonic:

  " $1 $2 $3" % tuple(x, y z)

or, less Pythonically:

   format(" $1 $2 $3", tuple(x, y, z));

At least these keep all the combinatorics in one place (tuple).
Incidentally, until we get a core language way to remove the combinatorics,
I like the repeated '%' operator.
