Yah, that's intentional. scanf has its usefulness slashed to a

I like the fixes, it just that the interface *looks* the same
(format specifiers and all), but the implementation is different
(and mostly undocumented? or perhaps I missed it...) - so the
results were surprising to me.
Related, I've submitted a tiny patch to count parsed variables in
a tuple, here:

Hope this is the right way to send patches...
