One of the significant advantages to using formatting facilities like *printf or Boost Format is that messages with embedded value placement indicators can be stored as a single string, which makes translation of such message strings much, much easier. Thus, much of the benefit of such a facility is lost when the ability to represent message strings as single strings is lost. -- Jeremy Maitin-Shepard
