Yes.. I thought it would be more illustrative to use sprintf, as printf
alone might look more foreign and is less versatile in this case
(especially were it made into a function)...

Well, sure.. but that would be overkill for a simple select list
of the type described. As for coding it as a function, I was only trying
to suggest this is the type of thing that makes a good function--not that
what I put down there would make the ultimate function of this type.
I thought taking it further and making it into a function myself
1) might seem like I was trying to be showy and 2) feared the example
would start losing it's demonstrative value with extra functionality.
