This line is too long.

It doesn't make sense to talk about "a POSIX.1-2008 extension", even if
that were accurate. (Actually it's an ISO C-1990 feature.) Something in
one of the core standards we implement is not "an extension". The manual
also needs to continue to document the GNU %a extension, and explain the
effect of -std mode. %a is also mentioned in @node String Input Conversions
that needs to be updated too.
