 * formatting specifiers:
 *
 *   %s   String represented as size_t length, const uint8_t *data.
 *
 *   %t   Optional display type, represented as
 *        size_t display_length, const uint8_t *display,
 *        display == NULL means no display type.
 *
 *   %i   Non-negative small integer, uint32_t.
 *
 *   %b   Non-negative bignum, mpz_t.
 *
 *   %l   Literal string (no length added), typically a balanced
 *        subexpression. Represented as size_t length, const uint8_t
 *        *data.
 *
 *   %(, %)  Allows insertion of unbalanced parenthesis.
 *
 * Modifiers:
 *
 *   %0   For %s, %t and %l, says that there's no length argument,
 *        instead the string is NUL-terminated, and there's only one
 *        const uint8_t * argument.
