I would agree, for instance, that an auto-translation tool is needed.
We should get one written. ISTM, every %-formatting string is directly translatable to an equivalent {}-formatting string.
Why don't we start something in the sandbox and see how far we can get. If no one beats me to it I will add the directory some time today and we can start hashing out the solution there.
Created str_fmt_conversion in the sandbox to hold any work people want to do on converting % formats to {} automatically. -Brett
