According to Jim Meyering on 1/1/2010 4:02 AM:
> if (inode_format)

> printf (_(" Inodes IUsed IFree IUse%%"));
Why are we using printf instead of [f]puts on this line? Isn't the
general policy to avoid the overhead of printf when there are no format
specifiers (other than the %%, which can be simplified to % for puts)?
