There's already a format() function - it returns a dynamically allocated
string for the result.

The difference with sformat() is it takes a buffer in, instead of allocating
its own. The only use for sformat that I can think of over regular format()
is to boost performance in certain special cases; it wouldn't be used
regularly.
