Re: [julia-users] Re: Why doesn't @sprintf evaluate its format string?

You could not inline any one thing, but you could inline everything.  It 
would be slower, but instead of the type specific code expanded for each 
%<x> in the static string, you'd expand to all possible types -- one for 
each of the different possible x,  a cascade of if else that compare the % 
and wrap that inside a while statement.
