Using indexes to refer to the arguments (vectors) has an advantage for
i18n. The order of the arguments is related to the language and some
translations produce better messages if the order of the arguments isn't
fixed.
Other than that, I think I prefer a one line printf() over a 7 line
say() anytime :-)
