I'm guessing boost::format has to return something that overloads % in the 
same way that cout overloads <<. I'm not sure from your example whether it 
supports the flexible formatting stuff either, which was more my point in 
the example.

Yeah. I never needed to, but I suppose you could use just "i" instead of 
"%i". In any case, it's clearly not flexible enough to handle things the way 
you'd like.
