possible to print the thousands separator in the locale setups that
have one, by something like this:
$ env -i LC_NUMERIC=en_US.ISO8859-1 ./printf "%'0.2f\n" 12345

This bug has been around for 22 months... either nobody uses printf
with floating-point values, or people are forgetting to check their
return codes.

- \c escape to immediately stop output (similar to echo's \c)
- \0NNN should be allowed for octal character escapes (instead of just \NNN)
- %b conversion, which is like %s but interprets \n \t etc. inside the
string is missing.
And I may not be any poet, but in lieu of an in-tree regression test:

known to printf(3) and then used printf() to format it... The only
problem what the #define printf out1fmt. The code was behaving differently
when run as a shell builtin since out1fmt() isn't printf(3).
Simple hack. Print to a buffer and fputs (also #defined for sh) the
result. This should fix the printf builtin problem in PR#1673, rather
than leaving the call commented out. (printf.o was being statically linked
in anyway, we might as well use it)
