Here's an example on how to implement positional arguments in terms of
(ice-9 format) argument jumping:

(format #t "third argument: ~2@*~a, second argument: ~1@*~a, first
argument ~0@*~a!~%" 1 2 3)

(format #t "Accepted connection on ~0@*~a from ~1@*~:[~0@*~a~;local
process~]." "foo" #f "bar")

(format #t "From ~1@*~:[~0@*~a~;local process~] accepted connection on
~0@*~a." "foo" #f "bar")

Or simpler, without format string conditionals, which seems a bit
easier to translate without having to know how (ice-9 format) works:

(if local-process?
    (format #t "Accepted connection on ~a from local process." "foo")
    (format #t "Accepted connection on ~0@*~a from ~1@*~a." "foo" "bar"))
