Please do not close this ticket until the issue has been solved.

A simple patch for this issue is trivial - just rectify that only some
conversion specifiers ask for the next arguments, for example:

By default, the arguments are used in the order given, where each '*' and each
conversion specifier (except for some) asks for the next argument (and it is an
error if insufficiently many arguments are given).


A patch which would keep the current sentence's precision would have to list
the exceptions.
