Without introduction, I'll just present the syntax idea:
f/%03d %15s/$foo, $bar/;
This gives s?printf to any expression with short and concise syntax,
making printf redundant, which means I won't even have to start a
discussion about sayf :)
printf "%03d %15s", $foo, $bar;
vs
print f/%03d %15s/$foo, $bar/;
Of course, this is s///-like in quoting behaviour, so f[][] or f"""
should work just as well. The RHS is not a string, but parsed as an
expression in list context. If this feels weird, just think of s///e,
where the RHS is also not a string.
