That's Walter's proposal. With *my* proposal, the decision for %s 
or ? or whatever is made by the library function (which is passed 
the knowledge it needs to know to make a smart decision) instead 
of by the language. So, for the end user, those things DO just 
work.

Remember: I am NOT defending DIP 1027 as-is. I am defending our 
amendment to it/rewrite of it.
