I wrote it yesterday, and spend today fixing all the sloppy code in the test 
suite with bad formats, and submitting PRs for projects with bad formats.

Unfortunately, Rainer says that Microsoft VS doesn't support the printf `z` 
specifier (despite it being standardized in 1999) in versions before 2015.

Is it time to throw old VS support under the bus?
