Overall, I like.  Some comments:

  - The following should silently swallow the "foo" argument:

    cout << format("%2$s", "foo", "bar");

    Right now, it invokes undefined behavior.

  - 'bad_format_string' should derive from 'std::exception'.

  - There are several identifers and one macro (include guard) that
starts with two underscores.  IIRC this names that start with two
underscores are reserved for the implementation by the standard.

  - Boost convention uses '.hpp' as the extension for header files and
'detail' as the name of the namespace containing implementation
details.
