Uh, stupid question.  Right now I discovered in lily.scm

(define-public (ergonomic-simple-format dest . rest)
  "Like ice-9's @code{format}, but without the memory consumption."
  (if (string? dest)
      (apply simple-format (cons #f (cons dest rest)))
      (apply simple-format (cons dest rest))))

(define format
  ergonomic-simple-format)

Wouldn't that provide #f on demand anyway?  So where was the point?
