Nice, but....  (There's always something to complain about! :-) )

The kernel printf already uses %b for its own purposes (which as
it happens might be nice to have in printf itself (but that's
another matter)).  I don't know what else one might use for binary
output -- maybe %@2 for base 2, then you can extend to any base
up to 9 with %@3, %@4,....  If you use hex you can get to base 15.

Anyone else have any favorite additions to printf?
