I almost like this approach.  Would it not be a little more useful if you 
could mark the placeholders with something like "$Format: xyz %c$"?  
Because then we could just shut up all those complainers that want to 
insert some revision specific information into the files, without 
affecting formats for printf().

Of course, the idea to keep the worktree unaffected is brilliant.

Ciao,
