 * This code was included to provide a portable vsnprintf() and snprintf().

 *
 * This code is based on snprintf.c - a portable implementation of snprintf
 * by Mark Martinec <mark.martinec@ijs.si>, Version 2.2, 2000-10-06.
 * Included with permission.  It was heavily modified to fit in Vim.
 * The original code, including useful comments, can be found here:
 *	http://www.ijs.si/software/snprintf/
 *
 * This snprintf() only supports the following conversion specifiers:
 * s, c, d, u, o, x, X, p  (and synonyms: i, D, U, O - see below)
 * with flags: '-', '+', ' ', '0' and '#'.
 * An asterisk is supported for field width as well as precision.
 *
 * Limited support for floating point was added: 'f', 'F', 'e', 'E', 'g', 'G'.
 *
 * Length modifiers 'h' (short int) and 'l' (long int) and 'll' (long long int)
 * are supported.  NOTE: for 'll' the argument is varnumber_T or uvarnumber_T.
 *
 * The locale is not used, the string is used as a byte string.  This is only
 * relevant for double-byte encodings where the second byte may be '%'.
 *
 * It is permitted for "str_m" to be zero, and it is permitted to specify NULL
 * pointer for resulting string argument if "str_m" is zero (as per ISO C99).
 *
 * The return value is the number of characters which would be generated
 * for the given input, excluding the trailing NUL. If this value
 * is greater or equal to "str_m", not all characters from the result
 * have been stored in str, output bytes beyond the ("str_m"-1) -th character
 * are discarded. If "str_m" is greater than zero it is guaranteed
 * the resulting string will be NUL-terminated.
