Re: RFC: String interpolation

[Philippe Vaucher]

(format "The value is %.2f." (1+ value))

Well, yes, but if you have a longish string and more than two-three values to fill, it can be difficult to see what value goes where and what the resulting string will look like.

In some situations string interpolations are cleaner, in others printf-like formatting is more readable... it can really go both ways. *In general* I prefer printf-like formatting tho.

There's an argument for supporting both in that reguard.
