I know. The disadvantage of the C++ scheme is you cannot easily reorder
items as necessary to fit the grammar of localized messages. That, I
think, is why lots of other languages (including Python and Lisp) have
copied the printf scheme, yet none have seen fit to copy the C++ scheme.
printf for some people is one of the motivations for dependent types.
I wonder how you would express such a thing in an Ada-friendly fashion?
