 It would be great to have possibility to check correspondence and
 correctness of format and arguments of printf function in compile time.
 This functionality would fill in the lack of expressive power of user-
 defined literals form C++11, I mean inability to use template-user-defined
 literal for character strings (e.g. "qwerty 123"_format).
 In attachment you can find my implementation of it. It would be really
 great if it or maybe better improved variant of it will be in boost.
