Are there any plans to develop this into a more compact form?

For example (ugly, sorry!): 'CHF {f+-,.05}' % #(12.34).

I'm always disappointed with Squeak's string formatting/generation 
facilities and if Seaside has this framework, maybe it is a good base 
for compact string format language?

Thanks,
Zulq.
