Seems insufficiently general. However, I note that booleans are an enum, and by default stringify to Bool::True or Bool::False. Maybe %t stands for "terse", which stringifies to True and False, and in general stringifies any enum to its unqualified name rather than its qualified name. Kind of a shame %e is taken. On the other hand, maybe wasting a printf char on this is still insufficiently general, and it should just be a .terse or .key method of some sort feeding to a normal %s. Larry
