Thanks!
I tried writing a test to exercise this, but the test fails and I
have
no idea
why. I've attached the patch for anyone who cares to add sufficient
magic to
make the test pass.
The current logic in sprintf.t does not handle multiple arguments in
the
data. I started on something to handle a simple array, but there are
other tests defined in sprintf_tests with more complicated
expressions
inside square brackets, so it was more work than I had time for.
We need either a full parser for the perl-style tests, or a simpler
test
harness that doesn't try to do the perl-specific stuff.

In the meantime, adding a test file called, say sprintf_ext.t would
allow us to write a test and close out this ticket.
sprintf2.t added in revision 29738 with a few simple multi-argument
tests.
More probably need to be added.
