Even with a limited set of format specifiers, you will need %12d, %012d,
%10.4f and so on. It's quite a bit of work. I don't know if this
approach is worthwhile just for %d and %f and perhaps %s with no width,
precision, or padding controls.
You might as well use printint() and printfloat(), or printintarray() as
there is no longer a pressing reason to copy something like printf().
