  43/** <module> Analyse format specifications
  44
  45This library parses the format specification  used by format/1, format/2
  46and format/3. The parsed  specification  can   be  used  to validate the
  47consistency of the  format  string  and   the  provided  arguments.  For
  48example:
  49
  50  ==
  51  ?- format_types('~d bottles of beer', Types).
  52  Types = [integer].
  53  ==
  54
  55@tbd    The current implementation does not support format_predicate/2.

  62%   Parse a format string. Each element of Spec is one of the following:
  63%
  64%    * text(Text)
  65%    Text sent to the output as is
  66%    * escape(Num,Colon,Action)
  67%    A format escape. Num represents the optional numeric portion of
  68%    an esape. Colon represents the optional colon in an escape.
  69%    Action is an atom representing the action to be take by this
