Why does the apr_vformatter -- and thus all its callers (apr_psprintf, logging-functions, etc.) reject the %p format (replacing it with words ``bogus %p'')?

The format is for outputting pointers and is supported by the C-library's printf-family.

If this is a deliberate limitation, I'd like to know, what the motivations are. If it is simply an omission, I may be able to offer a patch...
Ok, replying to myself... Apparently, one is supposed to use %pp instead of simple %p to output pointers. This is not well-implemented, however, because real printf would left-pad pointers with zeros, which is not even possible to request with the current apr_vformatter implementation. The 0x-prefix is not output either, but that one can request by explicitly putting it into format.

Also, trying to use %pt (for the thread ID) -- gets flagged by the gcc's -Wformat, because these functions are, somewhat misleadingly, declared "printf-like".
