+// The purpose of this file is to define a generic format command that works reasonably even when there's no heap free
+// Because it uses a stack buffer in this case, it is very difficult to make this a generic function without macroing
+
+// Because I needed a 16-bit variant as well, and even templating would generate the same amount of code, I've done it
+// as a #includable code snippet
+
+// Note: If you do define SF_WIDE, Collapse() will be called on the result of the format before being passed to SF_ACTION
+
+// If you want to pass in a VA_LIST, then #define SF_LIST aArgList
+// If you want to pass in a bunch of arguments, #define SF_ARGLIST arg1,arg2,arg3
