I've never or heard of such a thing; I don't think we need to worry
about it.

Not true.  GCC optimizes printf calls into fwrite etc. calls, when GCC
can determine that the format string doesn't contain any % specifiers.
So older generated parsers already linked to functions other than
printf.

But anyway, I'm tired about arguing about style issues so I undid
the change.
