Actually, I just remembered String::formatted. It allows:
```
def nums = (2..7).collect { 1 / it }
assert nums.collect('%.2f'::formatted) == ['0.50', '0.33', '0.25', '0.20',
'0.17', '0.14']
```
Only for JDK15+, but I can live with that. I'll close the PR/issue.
> Create a sprintf shortcut for 1-arg usage

> Key: GROOVY-11569
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11569
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Paul King
> Assignee: Paul King
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently we support:
> {code:groovy}
> var x = 1/3
> assert sprintf('%5.3f', x) == '0.333'
> {code}
> Or you can use:
> {code:groovy}
> assert String.format('%5.3f', x) == '0.333'
> {code}
> I propose we also support:
> {code:groovy}
> assert x.sprintf('%5.3f') == '0.333'
> assert [x, x, x]*.sprintf('%5.3f') == ['0.333', '0.333', '0.333']
> {code}
> It is intended to be a shortcut only for format strings containing a single
> format specifier (or at least referencing a single argument).
