I can, but I was waiting for other people's comments about the design:
  - format() in core, that implements %s, %i, and %l.
  - substitute() for $n format and sprintf() that partially implements
    the same function in C in contrib/stringfunc.

I don't like having three similar functions for the same purpose,
but Pavel said they are the best solutions. What will be our consensus?
