Hello,IMHO, considering that flexibility is what I love in C programming, and 
that this checking should be printf job (in that case),

Unfortunately, this is not how printf, or other variadic functions, work. The 
way they work is: the non-variadic arguments (in the case of printf, the format 
string) indicate what variadic arguments should be consumed with what type. If 
the types of the arguments actually passed do not match the types indicated by 
the non-variadic arguments, the behavior is undefined.

Not only printf, and other variadic functions, have no obligation to warn you 
if you misuse them, but on every existing platform (including the exotic 
platforms where a pointer is not a pointer), they actually have no way to warn 
you that you are misusing them.
