Hi,
christos suggests that you wrote another version of fmtcheck(3) which
recognizes positional arguments. Did you?
We are discussing how fmtcheck(3) should be. Previously, it allows
format strings consuming less arguments than the default one, as long
as consumed args are of correct types. Recently, I've changed it to
reject such a string as documented in man page. However, we are not
sure which behavior is preferable.
Both may be incomplete. fmtcheck(3) should support positional args.
Then, format strings should be allowed if consumed args have correct
types, and the number of args is less than or equal to the default one.
How do you think? And how is your version?

Use the positional arguments.
Oops. It is another example that fmtcheck, besides I, does not
take into account...
I thought Uwe wrote a version that did? What happened with that? It was neat.
