Steve, look at the man page for snprintf if you don't see what I mean.
This discussion has become entirely too tedious, and your _only_
contribution to the discussion on pretty-printers has been "why isn't
this using this thing I made?".
You haven't been contributing to the discussion, you haven't been
helping figure out what the APIs, helpers, data structures should look
like, IOW _actually_ building something that could serve as a low level
string formatting library.
I get that you're busy - but look, we all are, and this patch series has
already been set back what, a month and a half while I was waiting on you.
I've got the tests now, I'll CC you when v5 is posted.
