Because

  (1) I don't use either often enough to remember which is
      which, and I confused the two;

  (2) I didn't bother (even though I usually do, I didn't
      this time) to check the Standard to be sure;  and

  (3) I got a false positive from gcc as a result of
      intmax_t and ptrdiff_t having the same underlying
      type, so test compiling the program didn't give a
      -Wformat diagnostic.
