/**
 * <p>
 * A Java formatter for <code>printf</code>-style format strings,
 * as seen in the C programming language.   This differs from the
 * C interpretation of such strings by performing much stricter
 * checking of format specifications and their corresponding
 * arguments.  While unknown conversions will be ignored in C,
 * and invalid conversions will only produce compiler warnings,
 * the Java version utilises a full range of run-time exceptions to
 * handle these cases.  The Java version is also more customisable
 * by virtue of the provision of the {@link Formattable} interface,
 * which allows an arbitrary class to be formatted by the formatter.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The formatter is accessible by more convienient static methods.
 * For example, streams now have appropriate format methods
 * (the equivalent of <code>fprintf</code>) as do <code>String</code>
 * objects (the equivalent of <code>sprintf</code>).
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * <strong>Note</strong>: the formatter is not thread-safe.  For
 * multi-threaded access, external synchronization should be provided.
 * </p>
