Did you actually look at my patch?

It's not a single alnum character. It's an arbitrary sequence of alnum 
characters. IOW, my patch allows

	%p6N

or something like that for showing a ipv6 "NIP" format string etc. Or you 
could spell them out even more, although I consider it unlikely that you 
really want to see too many of these, since gcc won't actually be able to 
type-check them (so they will always remain _secondary_ formats).
