+----------------
| You heard it here first ...
| 
| In Bell Labs' next release of the C language, the function 'sprintf' will
| be replaced by 'attf'.  The old name will still work, but only if you prefix
| the string argument with a fourteen-digit code.

And soon afterward will come, from Berkeley, the bsdf() function, which
will be greatly and somewhat non-portably expanded in function (and a
little buggy); to be released at the same time as their new long distance
network, which will provide long names for exchanges and symbolic links
between phones :-)
