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.
