there's snprintf, vasnprintf, vasprintf, vsnprintf, and xvasprintf.
The problem with these is that they punt to the system's underlying
printf for some things.  That's an issue e.g. with Windows's %I64d
versus %lld, and with C99 formats like %a.

I'd be very pleased to have a full C99 printf in gnulib, mainly
because I'm getting tired of not being able to write %zu to print
a size_t.

Hi Gary, Paolo,

OK Guys, shall we dust this "snprintfv" thing off, polish a bit and
hand off to the interested gnulib folks?  :)  It'd be nice to have it
have first class support.   Heck, I'd like to see some of the add-on
interfaces made more widely available anyway.  :)

That sounds like a splendid idea!  I'll even have some time to spend
on it starting next month.

Cheers,
        Gary
