Yes, we were doing it. My question was more "Is there any good reason to 
continue to pretend it" ?
I just don't know why they where hard-coded in the first place.

Anyway, I will have a look at what should be done to add them in Builtins.def. 
It will require a little work as the string format used to defined the 
attributes does not support 'NSString' format out of the box.
It supports only printf and scanf currently.
