The newlib library, and thus cygwin, go so far as to provide the *iprintf
family of functions in parallel with the *printf functions (for example,
siprintf is like sprintf except that it does not understand %[eEfFgGaA]).
 It is certainly a lighter-weight function, as skipping out on
float-to-decimal conversion code removes a large chunk of printf's bulk.
