I agree. And if expressions are in Rust, you get the benefit of a Rust
compiler validating them. A lambda must produce _some_ string to be
valid; match clauses will be checked for correct type and coverage.

What do you think of using Rust lambdas for context-sensitive

would not complicate the fmt! syntax (though it would require another

Yes, this is the sort of thing I was thinking of: that there are some
pressures that a gettext() layer feed back to the selection of
formatting strings that might be worth considering.
Also that it might be nice to make fmt!()

If you are talking about gettext-like functionality, usually this and
format strings are thought of as independent processing layers: format
strings are translated as such and then fed to the formatting function.
This brings some ramifications, as

(Erm, it might also be worthwhile to consider message catalogues and
locale-facets at this point; the two are closely related. We do not have a
