Actually this is good because it allows to customize the format string
to print only a subset of available information (I've actually used
this).
Your use case is a special case that breaks a general rule.
There's no special case here.
That
behavour is surprising, and it risks hiding some information silently.
Doesn't surprise me one bit.
I
think format() is more correct here.
I think it has a bug that diminishes its usefulness.
If you want a special behavour you
should use a special function as partialWritefln that ignores arguments
not present in the format string.
That behavior is not special.
