string formatting in FS?

I'm used to Python's string formatting, where I can insert variables into a longer string and the result is concatenated automatically. Is there anything similar in FS? In the example below, look how much more readable the Python example is.

Python:

"Hello, my name is %s and I like to eat %s on %s." % (name, food, day_of_week)
or

"Hello, my name is {} and I like to eat {} on {}.".format(name, food, day_of_week)
vs FeatureScript (AFAIK):

"Hello, my name is " ~ name ~ " and I like to eat " ~ food ~ " on " ~ day_of_week ~ "."

    There isn't right now. I suspect at some point the FS solution for this will look a lot like sprintf in C... something like:
    format("%d plus %d is %d", a, b, a+b);
    
    This is NOT available today – your quotes and twiddles solution is currently the only way to go.
