See the other issue on Field Polymorphism #34 . This issue depends on it.

Once support for string literals is added we'd like to support some of printf string formatting in Liszt.

Maybe introduce novel syntax (e.g. %v, %m ? are those conflicted?) for printing out vector or matrix values? (Don't get caught up on this though)

Added secondary string arguments to user functions; Closes #34
8c85ea4 
The design mostly conforms to the proposal.  No assignment of string
literals is allowed.  Special holes were provided for with Macros and
User functions (still always inlined) so that string literal arguments
can be propagated through.  String arguments must be untyped.
I also added the ability to write inline string values in Liszt code,
or inline by capturing a Lua upvalue, but did not add support for
format strings in print statements so #36 is still unresolved.

Finally, there is a new test for this functionality.
