Thanks! May I suggest we reference a particular C or POSIX standard
if we are going to list exceptions? When I wrote the current
implementation, I did it with a copy of C89 open next to me (well, I
think - I can't find the exact manual I was using) and GCC's format
string checker, which is a fairly definitive reference.

Of the exceptions you've found, * and n are present in C89. 1$,
', hh, j, t, z, a, and A are not (actually I can't find a reference
for a/A; what do they do?).
