Ick.
I've thought
format() function is very useful to construct formatted text,
but it doesn't support embedded formatter unlike sprintf() in C.
Of course, we can use to_char() functions for each argument value,
but embedded formatter would be more readable.
I'd like to propose %{...}s syntax, where
Hello
There is little bit complication. There are no one to_char function
- so you cannot to use DirectFunctionCall API.
but I am not against to this proposal.
