That's not a feature -- it is just a way you can use the old 'format'
function.

> "cl-pushnew")
I see no harm in that feature, but what is the difference between %q and %qs?
> Digraphs were proposed, but not implemented:

That seems much cleaner, since it does not require moving fixed parts
of the message out of the format string.
Does anyone have an objection to this feature?
