 * KIND, either express or implied.
 *
 *
 * Purpose:
 *  A merge of Bjorn Reese's format() function and Daniel's dsprintf()
 *  1.0. A full blooded printf() clone with full support for <num>$
 *  everywhere (parameters, widths and precisions) including variabled
 *  sized parameters (like doubles, long longs, long doubles and even
 *  void * in 64-bit architectures).
 *
 * Current restrictions:
 * - Max 128 parameters
 * - No 'long double' support.
 *
 * If you ever want truly portable and good *printf() clones, the project that
 * took on from here is named 'Trio' and you find more details on the trio web
 * page at https://daniel.haxx.se/projects/trio/
