+ From: Hugo <hv@crypt.compulink.co.uk>
+ Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2001 17:09:03 +0000
+ Message-Id: <200101111709.RAA23756@crypt.compulink.co.uk>
+
+ - support reordering for all parameters: %, *v, *, .*
+ - lay down that the reordering specification must immediately
+ follow that parameter: %3$, *v3$, *3$, .*3$
+ - fix vectorisation of a zero-length string
+ - factor out the code choosing the argument to format
+
+ Possibly unwanted side-effects:
+ - the special format specifiers ' +-0' must now precede any
+ vectorisation specifier. Tests in op/sprintf and op/ver
+ have been changed to reflect this.
+ - sprintf.t test #214 changed its expectations because in many
+ cases, the next parameter has already been consumed when an
+ invalid type letter is detected.
+
+ Probably wanted side-effects:
+ - attempts to format a non-existent parameter will warn as if C<undef>
+ - attempt to write to non-existent parameter with '%n' will complain
+ of "attempt to modify read-only value" instead of being silent
