Ugh. Should've read the code before pontificating ;-). The code makes
clear what is quite unclear in the docs:
/*
* Occurences of a single % are replaced by the next arguments
* external representation. Double %'s are left as is so elog()
* will also don't touch them.
*/
So "format" is appropriate, but the next sentence could use some
improvement.
