When using string formatting for example with println!, one can use both numbered and unnumbered formatters to save some bytes.
Best shown with an example:
fn main() { println!("{} {} {0} {0} {1} {} {2}", "first", "second", "third"); } Will output:
first second first first second third third
So the unnumbered formatters will get assigned to the values in order, this allows you to skip the index once per item.
