That may be a better idea, although I'm not sure that I want to
create another directory for this, but I don't really know how I
would do this otherwise. Perhaps a function:

  Text::Format::extend(:String)

I have to consider how I'm going to do this anyway; I want to keep
it as efficient as possible, so I'm debating whether or not the
extension's formatter should be an object or class variable (or
perhaps both).
