Format-class functions exist across Sourcemod. From the various PrintTo*() functions, KickClient, ServerCommand, ClientCommand, ShowActivity, BuildPath, the logging functions, etc are all examples of this. We combine the formatting into the function for convenience.
There is an ongoing discussion in the Sourcemod Discord/IRC server about this, and the potential issues.
