#8735: boost::format craches on "%0%" format string
------------------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  oliora@…          |      Owner:  samuel_krempp
     Type:  Bugs              |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  format
  Version:  Boost 1.51.0      |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:  format            |
------------------------------+---------------------------
 Application crashes at runtime at the following code
 {{{
 boost::format("%0%") % "something";
 }}}

 I understand that 0 is a wrong format argument number (they are starting
 from 1), but it's too easy to forget about it (for example, Python uses 0
 based format argument numbers). While boost::format is considered to be a
 safe alternative to printf, I think such mistakes should be handled and at
 least don't give a runtime crash.
