Starting from some frequent use cases, such as

- logging and similar technical status reports,
- invoices, bank statements and other economic reports

static constant formats would cover a lot. I'd think that
generics, as Mark H noted, might allow for elaborating
minor variations at run-time, at least in some cases.

A big plus of templates is that they are instances of Bentley's
programming pearls, of proven value. They shift the focus from
how the language achieves printing to what is being printed,
the latter being what matters.
