For specific formats, you could still call libc. Just pass it the numeric
format, when encountering one, and process the rest on your own. I like
being able to print a sockaddr_*, no matter if it is a domain socket,
IPv4 or IPv6, besides off_t, without having to use string concatenation
all the time.
