  //   order; they can be reused in any order
  // - <width> is the field width -- negative to reverse the alignment;
  //   starting with a leading zero to zero-fill (for integers)
  // - <precision> is the number of digits to the right of the decimal
  //   point (for floating point numbers)
  // - <type> is one of:
  //     d, x, o, b -- int in decimal, hex, octal, binary
  //     ud, ux, uo, ub -- unsigned int
  //     ld, lx, lo, lb, uld, ulx, ulo, ulb -- long, unsigned long
  //     f, g -- double
  //     c -- char

  //     t -- GString *
  //     w -- blank space; arg determines width
