%% fwrite(Format, ArgList) -> string().
%%  Format the arguments in ArgList after string Format. Just generate
%%  an error if there is an error in the arguments.
%%
%%  To do the printing command correctly we need to calculate the
%%  current indentation for everything before it. This may be very
%%  expensive, especially when it is not needed, so we first determine
%%  if, and for how long, we need to calculate the indentations. We do
%%  this by first collecting all the control sequences and
%%  corresponding arguments, then counting the print sequences and
%%  then building the output.  This method has some drawbacks, it does
%%  two passes over the format string and creates more temporary data,
%%  and it also splits the handling of the control characters into two
%%  parts.
