--- Comment #2 from felix <felix.von.s at posteo dot de> ---
The documentation for -Wformat-security explicitly mentions that it may be
extended in the future to cover cases other than non-literal format strings.
I'm suggesting to take advantage of that provision and make that option also
cover buffer overflows. It shouldn't be that hard to make -Wformat-security
imply -Wformat-overflow and whatever you choose to name the warning about
improper precision. Current problems with the non-literal format string case
aren't terribly relevant here.
