Well, there is a sample for String.format() in the prototype: 
https://github.com/andrestesti/gwt-rebindingmethods/blob/master/samples/hellorebinding/src/com/google/gwt/sample/hellorebinding/client/util/Strings.java#L39
I agree, method rebinding should eliminate the need of magic methods and 
simplify the compiler. GWT.debugger() is a controvesial case because Java 
doesn't has a semantically equivalent for it..
