If its a string literal it is already handled as part of bindings:

I understand that you may be wanting a runtime error, but I'd suggest
disallowing that entirely and go with a template parameter to provide
your format to make sure its seeable to the compiler.
I clearly said compile-time. maybe you misspoke.
It's a bit of a nuisance because the function call then doesn't resemble
C that much anymore. (it's called betterc)
The only way to do it at CT, is either with the pragma with a string
literal for the format, or the format must be provided via a template
parameter.
You cannot do this, with a function parameter at CT.
