Any interest in the alternative syntax for boost::format?

format2 f("Hello %s, %s"); std::cout << f("Joe", "Jane") << std::endl          << f("Jose", "Mary") << std::endl;

Which creates the output;

Hello Joe, Jane Hello Jose, Mary

Code is available at http://bit.ly/2J60Re for any suggessions.

Why is this syntax better?

I like that syntax, and I can see how it could be better in that it would have better caching (does not need to recreate the object, which is very slow), and it is a more simple syntax then the normal way you can cache it. Looks nice to me.
