You are right. There is a much better implementation, 
Loki::Printf in SafeFormat.h. It works like this:
// ...
Also, Loki gives us a complete printf-like functions, 
SPrintf, FPrintf... It really convenient.
Yes, they are convenient, but Loki::Printf and crew have a serious
shortcoming -- lack of support for wide characters. As with std::exception,
this greatly reduces their utility. This is the main reason why I prefer
boost::format.
