Strange that the Qt folks got to the same conclusion (they have really nice
support for it in QString, one can write things like
QString("There are %1 people in the %2").arg(4).arg("Town")). So it makes me
think if it works for them, it should work for us.

Anyway, people might be more familiar with the % version, would it be problem to
use that?

But then we can't use variadic functions, because they don't provide the type
(or we would have to convert everything to strings before).

With regards
