Re: [sc-users] string formatting notation

[Scott Wilson <s.d.wilson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, I’m opposed to both. There’s way too many duplicate methods in SC added to support personal preference of developers.

These add little or nothing new, make SC harder to learn, violate existing conventions and bloat the method table unnecessarily.

Sorry if this comes on too strong, as I know people mean well, but I really wish someone had stood up against these sorts of things in the early days of SC being open source.

My two cents anyway...
