According to S29, there should be an sprintf directive %C, but Rakudo r32874 doesn't recognize it: $ ./perl6 -e 'my $num = 12345; printf "%d%C is %d digits long", $num, sub($s, @args is rw) { @args[2] = $s.elems }, 0;' 'C' is not a valid sprintf format [...] Depending on one's views of things, it may or may not be a bad thing that the error message from a call to `printf` complains about valid sprintf formats.
