 Working on #20491 revealed a need for a `sprintf()` function in
 JavaScript.

 Although ES6 supports some basic string formatting, it's not something
 core could use in its various JS files. Thus, I suggest adding the very
 popular [https://github.com/alexei/sprintf.js sprintf.js] library to
 WordPress.

 The minified script is only 3.7 KB in size, the source file is 9.4 KB
 large. Adding it to core with the `sprintf` handle would not only benefit
 core but also various plugins and themes in need of such a functionality,
 especially with translations.
