Paul King updated GROOVY-11569:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
Currently we support:
{code:groovy}
var x = 1/3
assert sprintf('%5.3f', x) == '0.333'
{code}
Or you can use:
{code:groovy}
assert String.format('%5.3f', x) == '0.333'
{code}

I propose we also support:
{code:groovy}
assert x.format('%5.3f') == '0.333'
assert [x, x, x]*.format('%5.3f') == ['0.333', '0.333', '0.333']
{code}
It is intended to be a shortcut only for format strings containing a single 
format specifier (or at least referencing a single argument).
