printF(cout,L("Hello {0}, ({1})\n"),Strings() << name << age);

(exercise for the reader. Strings is a type with a templated <<
operator which uses ostream<< to make up a list of appropriate
strings, printF then should be pretty easy.  L() just matches a string
in a suitable localization file)

Or even (with implicit L() and a suitable wrapper type PrintF)

PrintF(cout, "Hello {0}, ({1})\n") << name << age;
