If you indent the original differently, it'll be much easier to
understand, even with the %N$s strings in it.  With some discipline in
coding the default template, the result should be much better than
impossible.

That's just a consequence of bad design.  You have just pointed out
another reason why having different functions just to avoid writing
"echo" at the beginning of code is not a good approach.  Anyway, I
don't think this particular thread needs to be revisited...  :-)
