var format = require('stb-util-format');

Simple replacement:

console.log(format('This is a {0}', 'cat'));

Multiple replacement:

// This is a cat and a dog
console.log(format('This is a {0} and a {1}', 'cat', 'dog'));

Replacement with changed order:

console.log(format('This is a {0} and a {1} and another {0}', 'cat', 'dog'));

There is a global var DEBUG which activates additional consistency checks and protection logic not available in release mode.

In debug mode the util method is exposed to the global namespace as window.utilFormat.
