simply because StrPrintF does not handle the same format specifiers as
sprintf. If I had access to sprintf, I would expect it to handle the
standard C specifiers. Since the header just translates sprintf to
StrPrintF, an uninformed developer would run into problems if they tried to
use unsupported functionality. I tend to err on the side of caution, I'd
hate to see the same developer post another question a few hours later that
"%0.1f" doesn't seem to work and how can they format their float. Give the
best info the first time and hopefully we can save someone some unnecessary
troubles.
