No, it'd not make sense and it'd be difficult. You see, for an
"xxxf()" function to work, the format string has to be last.
That means,
act(char *, bool, char_data *, void *, void *, int);
would have to be changed to
actf(bool, char_data *, void *, void *, int, char *, ...);
which would be confusing when you're using act() and actf() in the
same area of code. And then, of course, there's the fact that act()
already accepts one text parameter in the middle, if you actually
need it (and it's very rarely needed). Try:
act("$n $T $N.", FALSE, ch, verb_str, victim, TO_CHAR);
I think that works, and there's very few cases when you'll need the
printf behaviour, and in those rare cases it'd make more sense to
use sprintf() than to write a new actf() function.
