# Lua String Formatting

Lua contains a builtin routine, string.format, which is similar to "printf."
We have reimplemented this from scratch, adding a bunch of new formatting
directives.

We have also added formatting routines that output to the
console and the debug logs.  The new routines are:

format(format_string, arg1, arg2, arg3...)
dformat(format_string, arg1, arg2, arg3...)
