Comment (by jdgrimes):

 I don't know if this has been mentioned, but in regard to `sprintf()`: in
 JS that is already using Underscores anyway, it is possible to use
 Underscores templates to do this. I have done this before.

 {{{#!php
 $text = sprintf( __( 'String with %s.' ), '{{placeholder}}' );
 }}}

 {{{#!js
 var text = wp.template( l10nTemplateFromPHP, value );
 }}}

 (Just a POC from off the top of my head.)
