If you're ready to write
<:my_printf<The string: %s> "string with 'quotes'"
instead, you can write your own quotation expander with Camlp4 and
implement the behavior you want. Mmmh, a re-implementation of the
Printf and Format modules with this technique would be nice.
And also for Scanf (with a pattern quotation expander?).
Yes, the typing of the printf functions are magic, and their
implementation also. You cannot adapt their behavior without hacking the
compiler and using the Obj module.
