I'll buy that. I plan to replace the guts of format.c entirely with calls to
snprintfv,which was designed exactly for this purpose (to allow interpreters
to collect arguments and pass them directly to the snprintfv API, rather than
needing a full reimplementation).
In the mean time, I'm happy for you to commit this patch.
Cheers,
Gary.
