   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
   70%    escape.
