Which has low value for us. For the case of debugging, it's a meh. For 
translatable strings, since the string itself is runtime, there's little value 
in doing a compile-time evaluation.

It's TBD whether we can parse the template at compile time for some of the 
formatting options. See my original email for what translators are allowed to 
change in the template string.

If possible, yes, I'd like to confirm that the string you typed in the source 
has the correct number of replacement requirements as parameters were passed 
in. Then tooling can verify that the translators have done the correct job and 
not used more than what was present.
