I do like the idea of these functions... just ran into a problem a day
or two ago which would be completely awful to do with *printf, since it
involved assembling a line of text through two functions and a for()
loop... I thought briefly about trying to do it with strncat but I
gagged a bit at the obtuse way it would have needed to have been done.
