-@defun format destination format-string . arguments
-An almost complete implementation of Common LISP format description
-according to the CL reference book @cite{Common LISP} from Guy L.
-Steele, Digital Press.  Backward compatible to most of the available
-Scheme format implementations.
-
-Returns @code{#t}, @code{#f} or a string; has side effect of printing
-according to @var{format-string}.  If @var{destination} is @code{#t},
-the output is to the current output port and @code{#t} is returned.  If
-@var{destination} is @code{#f}, a formatted string is returned as the
-result of the call.  NEW: If @var{destination} is a string,
-@var{destination} is regarded as the format string; @var{format-string} is
-then the first argument and the output is returned as a string. If
-@var{destination} is a number, the output is to the current error port
-if available by the implementation. Otherwise @var{destination} must be
-an output port and @code{#t} is returned.@refill
-
-@var{format-string} must be a string.  In case of a formatting error
-format returns @code{#f} and prints a message on the current output or
-error port.  Characters are output as if the string were output by the
-@code{display} function with the exception of those prefixed by a tilde
-(~).  For a detailed description of the @var{format-string} syntax
-please consult a Common LISP format reference manual.  For a test suite
-to verify this format implementation load @file{formatst.scm}. Please
-send bug reports to @code{lutzeb@@cs.tu-berlin.de}.
-
-Note: @code{format} is not reentrant, i.e. only one @code{format}-call
-may be executed at a time.

-@subsection Format Specification (Format version 3.0)
-
-Please consult a Common LISP format reference manual for a detailed
-description of the format string syntax.  For a demonstration of the
-implemented directives see @file{formatst.scm}.@refill
-
-This implementation supports directive parameters and modifiers
-(@code{:} and @code{@@} characters). Multiple parameters must be
-separated by a comma (@code{,}).  Parameters can be numerical parameters
-(positive or negative), character parameters (prefixed by a quote
-character (@code{'}), variable parameters (@code{v}), number of rest
-arguments parameter (@code{#}), empty and default parameters.  Directive
-characters are case independent. The general form of a directive
-is:@refill
-
-@noindent
-@var{directive} ::= ~@{@var{directive-parameter},@}[:][@@]@var{directive-character}
-
-@noindent
-@var{directive-parameter} ::= [ [-|+]@{0-9@}+ | '@var{character} | v | # ]

-control directive characters. Lowercase characters represent control
-directive parameter descriptions.

-format it accordingly.
-@end table
-
-@subsubsection Configuration Variables
-
-Format has some configuration variables at the beginning of
-@file{format.scm} to suit the systems and users needs. There should be
-no modification necessary for the configuration that comes with SLIB.
-If modification is desired the variable should be set after the format
-code is loaded. Format detects automatically if the running scheme
-system implements floating point numbers and complex numbers.
-
-@table @asis
-
-@item @var{format:symbol-case-conv}
-Symbols are converted by @code{symbol->string} so the case type of the
-printed symbols is implementation dependent.
-@code{format:symbol-case-conv} is a one arg closure which is either
-@code{#f} (no conversion), @code{string-upcase}, @code{string-downcase}
-or @code{string-capitalize}. (default @code{#f})
-
-@item @var{format:iobj-case-conv}
-As @var{format:symbol-case-conv} but applies for the representation of
-implementation internal objects. (default @code{#f})
-
-@item @var{format:expch}
-The character prefixing the exponent value in @code{~E} printing. (default
-@code{#\E})
-
-@end table
-
-@subsubsection Compatibility With Other Format Implementations
-
-@table @asis
-@item SLIB format 2.x:
-See @file{format.doc}.
-
-@item SLIB format 1.4:
-Downward compatible except for padding support and @code{~A}, @code{~S},
-@code{~P}, @code{~X} uppercase printing.  SLIB format 1.4 uses C-style
-@code{printf} padding support which is completely replaced by the CL
-@code{format} padding style.
-
-@item MIT C-Scheme 7.1:
-Downward compatible except for @code{~}, which is not documented
-(ignores all characters inside the format string up to a newline
-character).  (7.1 implements @code{~a}, @code{~s},
-~@var{newline}, @code{~~}, @code{~%}, numerical and variable
-parameters and @code{:/@@} modifiers in the CL sense).@refill
-
-@item Elk 1.5/2.0:
-Downward compatible except for @code{~A} and @code{~S} which print in
-uppercase.  (Elk implements @code{~a}, @code{~s}, @code{~~}, and
-@code{~%} (no directive parameters or modifiers)).@refill
-
-@item Scheme->C 01nov91:
-Downward compatible except for an optional destination parameter: S2C
-accepts a format call without a destination which returns a formatted
-string. This is equivalent to a #f destination in S2C. (S2C implements
-@code{~a}, @code{~s}, @code{~c}, @code{~%}, and @code{~~} (no directive
-parameters or modifiers)).@refill
-
-@end table
-
-This implementation of format is solely useful in the SLIB context
-because it requires other components provided by SLIB.@refill
