It is worth noting that this restriction is a POSIX extension not
present in the C standard.
Also, POSIX isn't explicit as to whether that restriction applies
to the format string or just the arguments to %lc and %ls conversions.
What it does say is:
The format is composed of zero or more directives: ordinary
characters, which are simply copied to the output stream, and
conversion specifications, each of which shall result in the
fetching of zero or more arguments.
I don't think the proposed change makes us non-compliant.
