I was answering your previous "Not all languages use English quotation
marks."

time a new placeholder “%q” has been needed?

It's not the first time a language has a field specifier that's not part of C's 
printf. Python has %r for example, which means "pass the argument through 
repr()". Similarly, Go has %q which means "Treat as %s, but then pass it 
through strutil.Quote before actually printing".
It's a convenience.
