Subject: [Caml-list] signature of a lazy Printf.sprintf-like

Hello,

Is is possible to create a sprintf which is lazy?

Especially, I don't know what signature it should have
in the .mli file.

I am fighting with types because the function
is supposed to accept a variable number of parameters
after the format string.
If I manage to create a compilable signature, then
I cannot any-more use a variable number of parameters.

Merry Christmas,
Francois.
