OK, if that's the way it is, I'll come quietly. :-)

Indeed yes. I tend to stick to sprintf (with as many checks as I can)
because I know it's C90-standard. And in fact, there's no use of
sprintf in the basic C part of PCRE - no need for it - though there is
one use in pcreposix.c, and it's used in pcregrep.
