---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0006418) geoffclare (manager) - 2023-08-08 08:46 https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1771#c6418 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The C standard reserves all lower case letters in conversions for the printf() function, for future standardisation. It would not be a good idea to add a conversion specifier to the printf utility in POSIX that might end up clashing with printf() in future. So if this is added (in Issue 9), it should be %Q not %q.
