This is a partial implementation of the format/3 predicate as
implemented in several Prolog systems. It simply maps the format
string to ECLiPSe's printf/3 formats, and therefore supports only
those formats which are compatible.
Modes and Determinism
Modules
This predicate is sensitive to its module context (tool predicate, see @/2).
