I know people have simple format implementations lying around which only
do the %s/%S (though probably using ~s and ~S) thing and not all of the
Common Lisp derived gratuitousness of format.scm. Perhaps we should provide
one (perhaps called simple-format or something). I don't think exposing that
specific bit of C code is worthwhile.
