But overall, the variadic-function-with-format-string thing seems to
lose its appeal when it's pushed past basic printf, and even there i'm
not so sure it's your friend.

Better to use fputc, fputs, fputfoo, fputbar...

You're much more likely to get compile or link errors rather than just
screwy behavior [e.g. what if some library says printf("%z", z) means
one thing and another library says it means a different thing?].

Or look at C++, mostly just works...  I'm not recommending operator
overloading, you just need logical names for things [C++ makes up
different names for things; you just don't know what they are].
