I prefer a well-typed extensible combinator approach like:
http://chrisdone.com/holey-format/Text-Format.html
than the stringly typed approach of printf.
That's hardly relevant, as it sounds like Bart's work marks a considerable improvement to the existing printf code. Surely we should evaluate it on that basis, and not because it's not something entirely different. Lennart, are you on the libraries@ list? If Bart's work passes review and seems backwards compatible, do you have any objection to moving from your printf implementation to his?
