gettext "15.3.1 C Format Strings" references POSIX,
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/functions/fprintf.html
which defines z and l as length modifiers. Are we sure z is not allowed?
There are 55 examples of %zu in the COBOL FE, each one legitimate, typically
the result sizeof or strlen() or size().
If they have to be removed, <shrug>, it can be done. But then please tell me
which documentation I should rely on, and specifically if l is OK.
The numeric specifiers will be removed. The only ones remaining were not
discovered during testing during conversion to the diagnostics framework.
