#pod       o => 'Okay?',
#pod     },
#pod   };
#pod
#pod   print str_rf('This is %10f and this is %-15b, %o', 'forward', 'backward');

#pod ...prints...
#pod
#pod   This is    forward and this is drawkcab       , okay?

#pod =head1 DESCRIPTION
#pod
#pod String::Formatter is a tool for building sprintf-like formatting routines.
#pod It supports named or positional formatting, custom conversions, fixed string
#pod interpolation, and simple width-matching out of the box.  It is easy to alter
#pod its behavior to write new kinds of format string expanders.  For most cases, it
#pod should be easy to build all sorts of formatters out of the options built into
#pod String::Formatter.
#pod
#pod Normally, String::Formatter will be used to import a sprintf-like routine
#pod referred to as "C", but which can be given any name you like.  This
#pod routine acts like sprintf in that it takes a string and some inputs and returns
#pod a new string:
#pod
#pod   my $output = stringf "Some %a format %s for you to %u.\n", { ... };
#pod
#pod This routine is actually a wrapper around a String::Formatter object created by
#pod importing stringf.  In the following code, the entire hashref after "stringf"
#pod is passed to String::Formatter's constructor (the C method), save for the
#pod C<-as> key and any other keys that start with a dash.
#pod
#pod   use String::Formatter
#pod     stringf => {
#pod       -as => 'fmt_time',
#pod       codes           => { ... },
#pod       format_hunker   => ...,
#pod       input_processor => ...,
#pod     },
#pod     stringf => {
#pod       -as => 'fmt_date',
#pod       codes           => { ... },
#pod       string_replacer => ...,
#pod       hunk_formatter  => ...,
#pod     },
#pod   ;
#pod
#pod As you can see, this will generate two stringf routines, with different
#pod behaviors, which are installed with different names.  Since the behavior of
#pod these routines is based on the C method of a String::Formatter object,
#pod the rest of the documentation will describe the way the object behaves.
#pod
#pod There's also a C export, which behaves just like the C
#pod export, but defaults to the C and C
#pod arguments.  There's a C export, which defaults
#pod C and C.  Finally, a C,
#pod which defaults to C and C.  For more
#pod on these, keep reading, and check out the cookbook.
#pod
#pod L provides a number of recipes for ways to put
#pod String::Formatter to use.
#pod
#pod =head1 FORMAT STRINGS
#pod
#pod Format strings are generally assumed to look like Perl's sprintf's format
#pod strings:
#pod
#pod   There's a bunch of normal strings and then %s format %1.4c with %% signs.
#pod
#pod The exact semantics of the format codes are not totally settled yet -- and they
#pod can be replaced on a per-formatter basis.  Right now, they're mostly a subset
#pod of Perl's astonishingly large and complex system.  That subset looks like this:
#pod
#pod   %    - a percent sign to begin the format
#pod   ...  - (optional) various modifiers to the format like "-5" or "#" or "2$"
#pod   {..} - (optional) a string inside braces
#pod   s    - a short string (usually one character) identifying the conversion
#pod
#pod Not all format modifiers found in Perl's C are yet supported.
#pod Currently the only format modifiers must match:
#pod
#pod     (-)?          # left-align, rather than right
#pod     (\d*)?        # (optional) minimum field width
#pod     (?:\.(\d*))?  # (optional) maximum field width
#pod
#pod Some additional format semantics may be added, but probably nothing exotic.
#pod Even things like C<2$> and C<*> are probably not going to appear in
#pod String::Formatter's default behavior.
#pod
#pod Another subtle difference, introduced intentionally, is in the handling of
#pod C<%%>.  With the default String::Formatter behavior, string C<%%> is not
#pod interpreted as a formatting code.  This is different from the behavior of
#pod Perl's C, which interprets it as a special formatting character that
#pod doesn't consume input and always acts like the fixed string C<%>.  The upshot
#pod of this is:
#pod
#pod   sprintf "%%";   # ==> returns "%"
#pod   stringf "%%";   # ==> returns "%%"
#pod
#pod   sprintf "%10%"; # ==> returns "         %"
#pod   stringf "%10%"; # ==> dies: unknown format code %

#pod
#pod This returns a new formatter.  The C argument contains the formatting
#pod codes for the formatter in the form:

#pod   codes => {

#pod     S => 'different string',
#pod     c => sub { ... },
#pod   }
#pod
#pod Code values (or "conversions") should either be strings or coderefs.  This
#pod hashref can be accessed later with the C method.
#pod
#pod The other four arguments change how the formatting occurs.  Formatting happens
#pod in five phases:
#pod
#pod =for :list
#pod 1. format_hunker - format string is broken down into fixed and %-code hunks
#pod 2. input_processor - the other inputs are validated and processed
#pod 3. string_replacer - replacement strings are generated by using conversions
#pod 4. hunk_formatter - replacement strings in hunks are formatted
#pod 5. all hunks, now strings, are recombined; this phase is just C
#pod
#pod The defaults are found by calling C for each helper that
#pod isn't given.  Values must be either strings (which are interpreted as method
#pod names) or coderefs.  The semantics for each method are described in the
#pod methods' sections, below.

#pod
#pod The hashref hunks should contain at least two entries:  C for the
#pod conversion code (the s, d, or u in %s, %d, or %u); and C for the
#pod complete original text of the hunk.  For example, a bare minimum hunker should
#pod turn the following:
#pod
#pod   I would like to buy %d %s today.
#pod
#pod ...into...
#pod
#pod   [
#pod     'I would like to buy ',

#pod     ' ',
#pod     { conversion => 's', literal => '%d' },
#pod     ' today.',
#pod   ]
#pod
#pod Another common entry is C.  In the format strings expected by
#pod C, for example, these are free strings inside of curly braces.
#pod These are used extensively other existing helpers for things liked accessing
#pod named arguments or providing method names.

#pod whole hunk with a string to avoid any subsequent formatting.
#pod

#pod
#pod This replacer matches inputs to the hunk's position in the format string.  This

#pod C<2>.  B after some more experimental use.
#pod
#pod =method named_replace
#pod
#pod This replacer should be used with the C input processor.
#pod It expects the input to be a hashref and it finds values to be interpolated by

#pod an example use:
