Ok, I ended up committing the suppor for '%pS' early (as a series of 
smaller patches to make it clearer), just because it makes it easier for 
different people to start converthing things with the infrastructure in 
place.

But I wasn't planning on actually merging any of the conversions until 
after 2.6.26 (ie there will be no actual _users_ of '%pS' in 2.6.26)
