If you'd rather have the patch keep doprnt entirely as-is (i.e., not change 
doprnt's implementation at all), I can easily modify the patch to do that.

All current Emacs code that calls doprnt would benefit from switching to the 
proposed evsnprintf function, an API that is simpler and faster and that has 
better static checking with GCC.
