note 84585 rejected from function.sprintf by danbrown

Note Submitter: luhres ---- I like the placeholders $ option. But what doesn't seem to work is if you use it in a define(); For example this works: define( HOME_TEXT, "Hello %s and welcome to %s" ); but not this define( HOME_TEXT, "Hello $1%s and welcome to $2%s" ); This would be great to separate text from code and decouple as much as possbile. You could replace the above by define( HOME_TEXT, "You are in $2%s: welcome $1%s" ); without touching the code. Any ideas?
