(original) (raw)

It would be nice to call it something else than "printf-style
formatting". While it is certainly modelled on printf(), knowledge of C
or printf is not required to understand %-style formatting, nor even to
appreciate it.

+1\. The section is already titled "old string formatting operations" so if this name is acceptable it should be reused. If it's not, it should then be consistently changed everywhere.
