It does if you want it to. (else I would not claim I aimed at supporting
printf format-strings..)

cout << pformat(" %10.3G \n") % x;

In default mode the short-style and printf-like notations cohabitate,
but if you want to use printf-directives without "%p<stuff>", you can
call pformat instead of format.
