Sorry, I misunderstood your earlier comment to mean that
doprnt can now compute *(format_end+1).

If all that doprnt does is compute *format_end (or format_end+1
without dereferencing format_end+1), and if the documentation
notes that format_end must point to a character
(format_end cannot point to one-past-the-buffer-end,
which is what I expected), then that part's OK.
