Hi,

As Ruby already has "sprintf", is this new syntax just a shortcut for
sprintf, or is it supposed to behave differently (just like the
discussion of to_flt vs. to_f)?

Also, in

    "format_strings" % tokens_of_more_than_one_objects

what will be the syntax for tokens_of_more_than_one_objects?  Will
parentheses be optional?  Will it be able to take an array?  The reason I
ask is because in Python tokens_of_more_than_one_objects must be a tuple,
which Ruby does not have.

Regards,

Bill
