If you're using GNU libc, you can extend the printf family of functions with your own % codes. That could save you some work by not having to re-implement the existing *printf functionality.

I was wanting to re-implement vs(n)printf to correctly pad and truncate strings with Lope's color codes in them, since lining things up can be such a pain. I thought to get the bsd version and work from that, but it's... verbose. I'm sure it has to be. I started on my own and, ugly and incomplete though it is, seems to be a working start. I'd also like to include % codes for CHAR_DATA, OBJ_DATA, etc, so I can effectively replace act() with chprintf() entirely while I'm at it.
