 15.3.16 Perl Format Strings
 ---------------------------
 
 There are two kinds format strings in Perl: those acceptable to the
 Perl built-in function `printf', labelled as `perl-format', and those
 acceptable to the `libintl-perl' function `__x', labelled as
 `perl-brace-format'.
 
    Perl `printf' format strings are described in the `sprintf' section
 of `man perlfunc'.
 
    Perl brace format strings are described in the
 `Locale::TextDomain(3pm)' manual page of the CPAN package libintl-perl.
 In brief, Perl format uses placeholders put between braces (`{' and
 `}').  The placeholder must have the syntax of simple identifiers.
