I'm now considering writing my own customized format function. One
advantage of doing things this way would be that I could drop all the
special functions werror_safe, werror_utf8, werror_mpz,... and instead
have %-sequences for them.
But if you can point me to a good, free and stand-alone vsnprintf,
that is also interesting.
