   That's why I like using sprintf() with specifiers. If you are
   using printf() or sprintf() for other things, then you
   already have the code overhead accounted for anyway.
   It may be a bit slower, but that's not too major a
   consideration with most applications, since string formatting
   isn't usually too large a portion of the code, nor the most
   frequently called, and if it occurs in conjunction with any
   keyboard routines, the user will definitely be the slowest
   link in the chain.
