It's unportable, for two different reasons:

1. pg_dump output would become platform-specific.  This is highly
undesirable.

2. The printf specifiers you want us to rely on are not standard.
Cf Single Unix Spec,
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/fprintf.html
which does not define either %A or %a.
