<h1>Boost Format library</h1>
<p>The format library provides a class for formatting arguments according
to a format-string, as does printf, but with two major differences
:<br></p>
<ul>
<li>format sends the arguments to an internal stream, and so is entirely
type-safe and naturally supports all user-defined types.</li>
<li>The ellipsis (...) can not be used correctly in the strongly typed
context of format, and thus the function call with arbitrary arguments is
replaced by successive calls to an <i>argument feeding</i>
<b>operator%</b></li>
</ul>
