  std::string Foundation_API format(const std::string& fmt, const Any& value);
  
This function implements sprintf-style formatting in a typesafe way. Various variants of the function are available, supporting a different number of arguments (up to six). The formatting is controlled by the format string in fmt. Format strings are quite similar to those of the std::printf() function, but there are some minor differences. The format string can consist of any sequence of characters; certain characters have a special meaning. Characters without a special meaning are copied verbatim to the result. A percent sign (%) marks the beginning of a format specification. Format specifications have the following syntax: %[<flags>][<width>][.<precision>][<modifier>]<type> Flags, width, precision and prefix are optional. The only required part of the format specification, apart from the percent sign, is the type. Following are valid type specifications and their meaning: * b boolean (true = 1, false = 0) * c character * d signed decimal integer * i signed decimal integer * o unsigned octal integer * u unsigned decimal integer * x unsigned hexadecimal integer (lower case) * X unsigned hexadecimal integer (upper case) * e signed floating-point value in the form [-]d.dddde[<sign>]dd[d] * E signed floating-point value in the form [-]d.ddddE[<sign>]dd[d] * f signed floating-point value in the form [-]dddd.dddd * s std::string * z std::size_t The following flags are supported: * - left align the result within the given field width * + prefix the output value with a sign (+ or –) if the output value is of a signed type * 0 if width is prefixed with 0, zeros are added until the minimum width is reached * # For o, x, X, the # flag prefixes any nonzero output value with 0, 0x, or 0X, respectively; for e, E, f, the # flag forces the output value to contain a decimal point in all cases. The following modifiers are supported: * (none) argument is char (c), int (d, i), unsigned (o, u, x, X) double (e, E, f, g, G) or string (s) * l argument is long (d, i), unsigned long (o, u, x, X) or long double (e, E, f, g, G) * L argument is long long (d, i), unsigned long long (o, u, x, X) * h argument is short (d, i), unsigned short (o, u, x, X) or float (e, E, f, g, G) * ? argument is any signed or unsigned int, short, long, or 64-bit integer (d, i, o, x, X) The width argument is a nonnegative decimal integer controlling the minimum number of characters printed. If the number of characters in the output value is less than the specified width, blanks or leading zeros are added, according to the specified flags (-, +, 0). Precision is a nonnegative decimal integer, preceded by a period (.), which specifies the number of characters to be printed, the number of decimal places, or the number of significant digits. Throws a BadCastException if an argument does not correspond to the type of its format specification. If there are more format specifiers than values, the format specifiers without a corresponding value are copied verbatim to output. If there are more values than format specifiers, the superfluous values are ignored. Usage Example: std::string s = format("The answer to life, the universe, and everything is %d", 42);

  std::string Foundation_API format(const std::string& fmt, const Any& value1, const Any& value2, const Any& value3);
  std::string Foundation_API format(const std::string& fmt, const Any& value1, const Any& value2, const Any& value3, const Any& value4);
  std::string Foundation_API format(const std::string& fmt, const Any& value1, const Any& value2, const Any& value3, const Any& value4, const Any& value5);
  std::string Foundation_API format(const std::string& fmt, const Any& value1, const Any& value2, const Any& value3, const Any& value4, const Any& value5, const Any& value6);
  
  void Foundation_API format(std::string& result, const std::string& fmt, const Any& value);
  
Appends the formatted string to result. void Foundation_API format(std::string& result, const std::string& fmt, const Any& value1, const Any& value2); void Foundation_API format(std::string& result, const std::string& fmt, const Any& value1, const Any& value2, const Any& value3); void Foundation_API format(std::string& result, const std::string& fmt, const Any& value1, const Any& value2, const Any& value3, const Any& value4); void Foundation_API format(std::string& result, const std::string& fmt, const Any& value1, const Any& value2, const Any& value3, const Any& value4, const Any& value5); void Foundation_API format(std::string& result, const std::string& fmt, const Any& value1, const Any& value2, const Any& value3, const Any& value4, const Any& value5, const Any& value6);

  void Foundation_API format(std::string& result, const std::string& fmt, const std::vector<Any>& values);
  
Supports a variable number of arguments and is used by all other variants of format().
