Yes, please, Nobu.

This will make I18N far easier than the current alternatives available.

Hi,

s = “My name is %(name)s and my age is %(age)d.” % {“name”:
“Sam”, “age”: 34}

I know that ruby has “#{name}” expression.
But that requires a variable named “name” in advance.
I want to bind the format string and data later.

I proposed that feature once in [ruby-dev:16351], though
rejected, but still I think that it would be useful for I18N.
Is it worth for RCR?
