Steven noted support for Boost.Format, so this library effectively supports streaming and printf-style formatting.
Yes, I remember having a look at Boost.Format (admittedly quite a while ago). The interface looked quite alien (which I could live with) and performance was not that great (I think back then it was std::iostream based, dunno these days). I agreed with Alexandrescu's view on that (http://erdani.com/publications/cuj-2005-08.pdf) and his alternative interface which I since adopted. Best, V.
