+/**
+ * Formats and writes string to stdout.
+ *
+ * Cosmopolitan supports most of the standard formatting behaviors
+ * described by `man 3 printf`, in addition to the following:
+ *
+ * - `%jd`, `%jx`, etc. are {,u}intmax_t which in Cosmopolitan is 128-bit.
+ *
+ * - `%'d` or `%,d` may be used to insert thousands separators. The prior is
+ *   consistent with C; the latter is consistent with Python.
+ *
+ * - `%m` inserts strerror(errno) into the formatted output. This is
+ *   consistent with glibc, musl, and uclibc.
+ *
+ * - `%n` inserts "\n" on non-Windows and "\r\n" on Windows. This is the
+ *   same behavior as Java. It's incompatible with glibc's behavior,
+ *   since that's problematic according to Android's security team.
+ *
+ * - `%hs` converts UTF-16/UCS-2 → UTF-8, which can be helpful on Windows.
+ *   Formatting (e.g. %-10hs) will use monospace display width rather
+ *   than string length or codepoint count.
+ *
+ * - `%ls` (or `%Ls`) converts UTF-32 → UTF-8. Formatting (e.g. %-10ls)
+ *   will use monospace display width rather than string length.
+ *
+ * - The `%#s` and `%#c` alternate forms display values using the
+ *   standard IBM standard 256-letter alphabet. Using `%#.*s` to specify
+ *   length will allow true binary (i.e. with NULs) to be formatted.
+ *
+ * - The `%'s` and `%'c` alternate forms are Cosmopolitan extensions for
+ *   escaping string literals for C/C++ and Python. The outer quotation
+ *   marks can be added automatically using ``%`s``. If constexpr format
+ *   strings are used, we can avoid linking cescapec() too.
+ *
+ * - The backtick modifier (``%`s`` and ``%`c``) and repr() directive
+ *   (`%r`) both ask the formatting machine to represent values as real
+ *   code rather than using arbitrary traditions for displaying values.
+ *   This means it implies the quoting modifier, wraps the value with
+ *   {,u,L}['"] quotes, displays NULL as "NULL" rather than "(null)".
+ *
+ * @see __fmt() for intuitive reference documentation
+ * @see {,v}{,s{,n},{,{,x}as},f,d}printf
