No, because that would take away flexibility in the parsing rules. And  
we are using the same strings for formatting and parsing composite  
strings. The formatting rules can be specified arbitrarily, whitespace  
splitting is not suffiecient. sscanf() is the only available  
counterpart method to printf formatting. And we probably don't want to  
implement sscanf() in PHP.
