That was what I had done at first, only to discover that it doesn't fit
into the model used by small_vsprintf etc al very well (passed in pre
allocated buffer, arbitrary number of formatting directives, etc make
it impossible to inject a newly allocated buffer within). I'd welcome 
any suggestions of course.
