Why not just rename C sprintf to C format and ditch printf and sayf?
Because format is almost as much typing as sprintf, and in many
circumstances needs both parens and quotes:
format(%03d %15s, $foo, $bar), $baz, ...
compared to
f/%03d

Of course, this is s///-like in quoting behaviour, so f[][] or f
should work just as well. The RHS is not a string, but parsed as an
expression in list context. If this

Besides, I think as will do just fine, especially since you can now
interpolate method calls as well. You can even do something like this
if you want to perform bulk formatting:
say join ' ', ($n1, $n2, $n3) .as('%d');
Or, if

Well, we do already have:
print $foo.as('%03d'), $bar.as('%15s')
which works on interpolated values as well. It als puts the variable
name out front, since the name is more important than the pattern in
most cases.
It puts the variable name
