Formatting with positions
     A ‘format’ method on strings can be used.  But since it is not
     standard in JavaScript, you have to enable it yourself, through

          const Format = imports.format;
          String.prototype.format = Format.format;

Portability
     On platforms without gettext, the functions are not available.
