C's scanf is a poor argument as it uses pointers instead of ref (and

arguments successfully read not bytes so there is no way to continue
from where it stopped.
BTW it's not documented what formattedRead returns ... just ouch.
Actually... look up "%n" in sscanf it's wonderful, I use it all the time.
God... what an awful kludge :)
