=head1 NAME

Acme::StringFormat - Smart interface to sprintf()

=head1 VERSION

This document describes Acme::StringFormat version 0.04

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Acme::StringFormat;

    # enable 'sprintf' operator in the scope

    say '[%s][%s]' % 'foo' % 'bar'; # => [foo][bar]


=head1 DESCRIPTION

I had a desire for a "format operator" of other languages.
Take boost C++ libraly for example:

	using namespace boost;
	std::cout << format("[%1%][%2]") % "foo" % "bar" << std::endl;

Now this pragmatic module provides Perl with a format operator C<%>,
which is equivalent to C<sprintf>.

=head1 INTERFACE 

=head2 C<use Acme::StringFormat;>

Enables the C<sprintf> operator in the rest of the scope;

=head2 C<no Acme::StringFormat;>

Disables the C<sprintf> operator in the rest of the scope;

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

=over 4

=item C<< Arguments mismatch for Acme::StringFormat >>

(W printf) Too few format parameters or too many format arguments.

=head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

=head1 DEPENDENCIES

Perl 5.10.0 or later, and a C compiler.
