Comment (by James E. King, III):

 Any changes for non-standard extensions would need to be qualified with
 preprocessor guards.  Bringing Boost.Format up to ISO C11 printf syntax
 rules is probably the next step, and then anything else like boolean,
 repeating extensions would need to be identified as non-standard and
 explicitly enabled, and I would be concerned about the extensions
 colliding with future standards.
