Hi folks,

Can we give these patches some love?  Is there a bug opened for them?  I found 
myself hitting the precise case Florian was talking about (debugging how the 
heck we don't have an overflow in a sprintf callsite, only to find it was the 
"special" sprintf).

Florian - Can you also share the clang plugin?  Another of the projects I work 
on has started to write clang static analyzers, and I need to brush up on my 
skills.
