	Sounds great to me; of course - it'd be nice if it compiled in linear
time too without including a million lines of odd boost templated
headers ;-) but certainly; if we can get something readable, and
typesafe that compiles to something -actually-small- - ie. a single
function call & setup; I'm all for it whatever it looks like - it sounds
like the best of all worlds.

	Sure; OTOH, I'm still looking for something as elegant, readable and
efficient as vasprintf ;-)

	ATB,
