Thank you for your comprehensive review.

I realized that I missed two major points in my proposal:

  - Nested style-classes
  - Future of `printf`

The first one is not simple to achieve using f-strings.

Regarding `printf`, yes, we cannot just remove it from the language.
And having two syntax for doing exactly the same thing (but differently)
is a very bad idea (one using `printf` and the other using f-strings).

So, `format` is the right solution for the Poke.
And the parser would replace a `printf (...)` with `print (format (...))`.
