#1548: printf bugs

I think the following are bugs in printf:
{{{
Prelude Text.Printf> printf "%.*f" 2 (1/3) :: String
"*** Exception: Printf.printf: bad formatting char *
(expected: "0.33")
Prelude Text.Printf> printf "%.3s" "foobar" :: String
"foobar"
(expected: "foo")
}}}
This one may not be a bug but it's incompatible with C printf:
{{{
Prelude Text.Printf> printf "%10.5d" 4 :: String
" 4"
(expected: " 00004")
}}}
