As a workaround, I put the value into an array to make use of the "undocumented" function formatElement:

   "%(%s%)".format([value])

That seems excessive. What happened to format(`"%s"`, s) or format("\"%s\"", s) or text('"', s, '"')?

Of course, this works well when I know that the value is of type string.

But I have a template and I want to print the representation of (T value):
"hello" (with quotes) or just 42 (without)

Phobos does this for array elements, but it seems that there's nothing like 'repr'?
