I'm +1 on some sort of change from the current %-operator which has issues distinguishing between scalar and collection arguments. Also, there are precedence issues (the current precedence is a vestige of % being used for modular arithmetic -- it is not the precedence we would have chosen otherwise). Also, the docs for %-formatting are more difficult to find because we use an operator instead of a named method. Lastly, the %-operator is not visually distinct from the %-symbols used in the adjacent format string. IMO, a named method solves all of these issues.
