Description
I think it'd be great if String included a method similar to %
that accepts variable number of arguments (like sprintf
). This is trivial to implement as you're certainly aware.
Here's one implementation suggestion:
class String
def format(*args)
super(self, *(args.flatten))
end
end
This would make the new method behave both like sprintf/format
and String#%
. I think this minor improvement would definitely be in the spirit of making more programmers happy :-)
