Finally! :-)
It's very spiffy. It includes things like argument reordering and date/time
formatting.

significant differences (for one, the formatter is not an object in

I see, Java's new way of doing varargs is neat.  And I'm a bit surprised 
(considering awkward syntactic salt I've seen in Java before) that it's 
decided to invent implicit conversions between primitive types and their 
standard wrapper classes.

  Why are you surprised?

 (considering awkward syntactic salt I've seen in Java before) that it's
 decided to invent implicit conversions between primitive types and their
