Is MessageFormat supported?

I'm trying to use MessageFormat in combination with FM's localization
feature but I'm having some problems (which I won't go into at this time).
My question is, are there features in FreeMarker (builtins, for example)
that help with this and that may save me some effort? I don't see anything
in the online manual, but maybe I'm missing something.
