[Swift-user] Formatting in Swift

[Justin M Wozniak]

If you are using trunk, you can try the new tracef() function:

        Formatted trace output.
        Example: tracef("\t%s\n", "hello");
        Differences from trace():
        1) respects \t, \n and \\;
        2) allows for typechecked format specifiers;
        3) allows for consumption of variables without display (%k);
        4) does not impose any formatting (commas, etc.).
        Format specifiers:
            %%: % sign.
            %p: Not typechecked, output as in trace().
            %i: Typechecked int output.
            %s: Typechecked string output.
            %k: Variable sKipped, no output.
