Does Boost or STL provide a functionlity similar to QString?

Question

Using QString, one can do the following:

QString const sentence = QString("First name: %1, Last name: %2")
                           .arg("John")
                           .arg("Doe"); 

// sentence is now "First name: John, Last name: Doe"

Does Boost / STL have something similar? I would like to construct a string similar to this way without using sstream << operator.
