OK, probably C syntax is the best design.
Then, let's merge format() and  substitute() in the latest patch.

I have a comment about %i for identifier format. %i is also used in
printf(), so it would be better to choose another character, like %I.
(%l is ok, but would be %L if we choose %I.)
Implementation for sprintf() in strincfunc might not be used now,
but it will be a conflict when we also merge it to format() in the future.
