That is really nice! I'm itching to try it out (at work right now, so can't).

A little offtopic, but:

This reminds me of the Microsoft CString class, which has a "Format()"
method. The arguments are a lot like sprintf(), but the output goes
back into the class instance. I always found that handy, but hated to
have to convert between string types.

Of course, Microsoft also added to the whole
"which-string-class-do-I-use" mess with additional string classes:
_bstr_t, CComBSTR, and CString in addition to the STL
std::basic_string class and it's incarnations.

Oh fun :-)
