Hi,

I just found out that this project has exactly what I was searching for 
long time because MessageFormat doesn't really suite my needs.

I see that this Class has been added in 2.2:
--------------------------------------------
a. Is there any plan when 2.2 is released
b. What would be with adding formats applied to values like 
MessageFormat does it {myDate,date,short}. The attached patch does that 
simply using MessageFormat.
c. Are there any planned changes to VariableFormatter to make it more 
look like MessageFormat?

Thanks

Tom
