>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11569
>             Project: Groovy
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>            Reporter: Paul King
>            Assignee: Paul King
>            Priority: Major
>
> Currently we support:
> {code:groovy}
> var x = 1/3
> assert sprintf('%5.3f', x) == '0.333'
> {code}
> Or you can use:
> {code:groovy}
> assert String.format('%5.3f', x) == '0.333'
> {code}
> I propose we also support:
> {code:groovy}
> assert x.sprintf('%5.3f') == '0.333'
> assert [x, x, x]*.sprintf('%5.3f') == ['0.333', '0.333', '0.333']
> {code}
> It is intended to be a shortcut only for format strings containing a single format specifier (or at least referencing a single argument).
