How do you think using `format' function directly instead of `?' ?

e.g.

        uuencode %s %s > %s.uu

Advantage:
- If the user want to `%' itself in the command line, format function
  can handle it:

      echo %%s

- Implementation is not so difficult(for us).

- Substitution rule is not so difficult(for users).

Disadvantage
- We have to throw away everything about `?', the manual description, 
  code, and the users' experience.
