Hi Alexander,

Similar work has come up for discussion on this list numerous times. The
most recent time, it even came with code from Samuel Krempp
<krempp_at_[hidden]>. Unfortunately, after generating much
discussion and interest, the work was never formally reviewed for
acceptance. Clearly, there would be lots of interest in such a thing. I
suggest that you review this thread:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/messagesearch/14108?query=Review%20%3A%2
0format2%2C%20yet%20another%20%27printf%20class%27%20

and

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/messagesearch/16544?query=Review%20%3A%2
0format2%2C%20yet%20another%20%27printf%20class%27%20

and the code/documentation at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/files/format2/

to get an idea of what people are looking for in such a library.

-Dave
