Matter of taste, I guess. Looks awful to me. It's very difficult to
visually separate input and output in this code, so it requires a thorough
look to see what data is being used for the formatting.

Syntax highlighting and in-string expression completion should eventually
help, once IDEs support it. But then editing this code will require an
editor that has such support. And not everyone is going to be willing to
get one.
