These are just ideas:
* Use $n, as like as PREPARE command.
It allows for us to swap arguments in any order.
SELECT format('$2 before $1', 'aaa', 'bbb')
* Call to_char() functions for each placeholder.
For example,
format('=={YYYY-MM-DD}==', tm::timestamp)
is equivalent to
'==' || to_char(tm, 'YYYY-MM-DD') || '=='
'{}' prints the input with the default format.
New languages' libraries might be of some help. LLs, C#, etc.
