             Summary: Convenience formatting method in ExtendedMethodFormat
                 Key: TEXT-95
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEXT-95
             Project: Commons Text
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Arend v. Reinersdorff


It would be nice to have a simple formatting method in ExtendedMethodFormat:
{code}
String format(Object... arguments)
{code}

Intended use:
{code}
ExtendedMessageFormat messageFormat = new ExtendedMessageFormat("{0}, {1}", Locale.ROOT);

String output = messageFormat.format("Hello", "World");
{code}

The current formatting method of (Extended)MethodFormat is quite inconvenient for simple use cases:
{code}
ExtendedMessageFormat messageFormat = new ExtendedMessageFormat("{0}, {1}", Locale.ROOT);

Object[] arguments = { "Hello", "World" };
StringBuffer outputBuffer = messageFormat.format(arguments, new StringBuffer(), null);
String output = outputBuffer.toString();
{code}
