POSIX does not specify what should happen with:

$ /bin/printf %hhu/ 254 255 256

However, since coreutils accepts hh as an extension, should it issue a
warning if the string being printed does not fit in an unsigned char?  Or
should it silently wrap around, and print 0 instead of 256?  Or are we
okay with keeping status quo that the size specifiers must be valid
according to printf(3) rules, but are otherwise ignored?
