Description

The log() function in the default query server is barely serviceable. People now expect console.log() support as with modern browsers and in Node.js.

This ticket is to extend the user-facing JS API to feel more like Node.js (which presumably designed its API to feel "right" by some definition).

1. util.format() support compatible with Node.js. (It's like Perl's sprintf)
2. console.log() support compatible with Node.js.
