Yes, I remember having a look at Boost.Format (admittedly quite a while
ago). The interface looked quite alien (which I could live with) and
performance was not that great (I think back then it was std::iostream
based, dunno these days). I agreed with Alexandrescu's view on that
(http://erdani.com/publications/cuj-2005-08.pdf) and his alternative
interface which I since adopted.

Best,
V.
