I think that the risk for other formatting parameters is smaller, because you 
know, that there are different formatting parameters for different integer and 
floating point types, and for pointers, and you know that you should care about 
truncation and overflow if the type of the argument is different from the type 
of the parameter.

But I am not in strict opposition against this feature. It is just that I have 
fixed so many bugs, that I try to search potential flaws and drawbacks in any 
new feature. Now you know about this, and you can decide whether the benefit is 
larger than the risk of potential damages. To me they look equally small.

Technically PR 28634 LGTM.
