 *
 * Provides a core implementation of the formatting capabilities
 * common to the entire `printf()' family of functions; it conforms
 * generally to C99 and SUSv3/POSIX specifications, with extensions
 * to support Microsoft's non-standard format specifications.

 * and `%G' format specifiers, but excluding the hexadecimal floating
 * point `%a' and `%A' specifiers), make use of the `__gdtoa' function
 * written by David M. Gay, and are modelled on his sample code, which
