@mirabilos @dalias @nabijaczleweli Oh, no, we can't change the return value of a function like printf or otherwise. I forgot about the return value of the printf family of functions.
Well, okay; guess I just gotta throw this paper out and wait until we have a not-crap fmt facilitiy; it's not worth writing a new form of the existing like 16+ formatting functions for specifically this. Might as well wait until a better, more type-safe formatting facility.
