make sense for gnulib to have "nearly POSIX" compliant variants of these

this sounds like a good idea.
Paul, Eric, what's your opinion on this?
Might be helpful for programs that don't want to use %n.
Perhaps also there should be some way to tell glibc "Hey, I want to use %n even
though I want the other fortification features." That'd be an improvement over
what we have now. For what it's worth, GNU Emacs (which I happen to be working
on right now) uses %n.
