Hi Larry,
I'm aware, I've used it. It feels bolted on. It's still weird.
I can program in Python but I have a huge
aversion to a programming
language that doesn't include printf in the base language.
Python has Perl's sprintf() but as the ???fmt % values??? operator rather
than a function. So it isn't just available for printing but general
string formatting.
