How to pass by-name repeated parameters in Scala?

The following code fails to work:

scala> def foo(s: (=> String)*) = {
<console>:1: error: no by-name parameter type allowed here
       def foo(s: (=> String)*) = {
                   ^

Is there any other way I could pass a variable number of by name parameters to the method?

bug with varargs and overloading?

There seems to be a bug in the Java varargs implementation. Java can't distinguish the appropriate type when a method is overloaded with different types of vararg parameters.

I'm trying to quickly learn GWT as part of a new project. I found out that GWT doesn't implement Java's String.format() function, so there's no printf()-like functionality. I knew that some printf() implementations exist for Javascript, so I figured I could paste one of those in as a GWT Javascript… >>> More
