Hi Andy,

Thanks for the review.

Sounds good. Numbers have special handling but AFAIR only right after %
sign, so this should be possible.

I had two extra temporary variables in a version I didn't send but I
figured they could be removed. :-)

I guess that's at least more efficient, and comparing buf to end is
trivial. I'll do that in v2.

I think I prefer the loop. I figured you can only call string once,
otherwise field width handling will be broken. Let's see.
