I find it hard to believe that it actually was a cleanup.

It is a nicer code, but... it is bigger, heavier on stack, and it does
not actually fix anything.

In my experience, such changes are seldom worth the effort. It may be
a nice code (and I actually like str.[hc]), but its use _must_ be
justified. I.e. it must simplify a complex formatting routine, or fix
a bug, which otherwise would be too hard or ugly to fix. It is
definitely not the case in this patch.
